There's no way to control the dosage. What if you are bitten by just one mosquito? What about 200 mosquitos?

If the goal is population reduction, it doesn't really matter.
Viruses are not dose dependent. The virus eventually multiplies and infects to the same degree. In theory a higher dose would slightly decrease the incubation period but a much bigger factor is your immune response.
If the warhead is altering your DNA it can only do that once per cell. So it's not the same as a toxin that builds up and does more and more damage.
