    nope, mosquito larvae possibly.
    you'd have noticed the spawn, i would guess, and tadpoles are those sort of things where if you see them, you're left in no doubt as to what they are.

    I did a bit of googling in fairness, apparently there is no evidence that they carry anything infectious to humans here
