Mosquito



Mosquito


 The mosquitoes are small, blood sucking flies. They belong to the family Culicidae. Only the female mosquitoes are blood eating pests. When a mosquito bites she also injects into the animal blood pathogens that cause disease. Mosquito-borne diseases are spread to hundreds of millions of people all over the world. These diseases cause millions of deaths every year. Some of the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes to people include malaria, West Nile virus, dengue fever, and yellow fever. They are the most dangerous animals on Earth because the pathogens they carry and transmit kill more humans than all of the other predators put together countless number of times.
