It doesn't spread virus, it spreads parasites. It takes parasites from an infected person and injects it in a healthy person. The parasites reproduce and infect the healthy person.

a mosquito is an insect which moves everywhere. when garbages are thrown in the road, the mosquitos go there and lays eggs. as they sit in the garbage, curtain amount of bacteria sticks to its leg.they then comes in contact with a healthy person and pass the microbes into the body. this way they spread viruses. so they are also called carriers.
