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.
