I know that mites could spread the IBD from one animal to others...

Supposing..

I get an infected animal and it's full of mites (obviously at that point I don't know the animal is infected, or I just wouldn't buy it). Then knowing I must quarantine this animal and others I just received... and that I must get rid of the mites I eliminate all of them, except one which fell of and remain hiden... this mite "lays a clutch of eggs" and it's finally killed by the insecticide, but eggs don't and they hatch....

DO THE MITE'S OFFSPRING WILL BE CARRIERS OF THE VIRUS?
OR IT WAS LOST WHEN THE ADULT MITE DIED?
