Mosquitos are not only one of nature's most annoying animals, they are also the deadliest. There are over 3,000 species of mosquito, but only three carry deadly diseases such as malaria, West Nile virus, encephalitis, and yellow fever. Unfortunately, the areas where these mosquitos are found are mainly in Africa and Asia. Most of the countries affected are third-world countries that do not have proper medical resources to fight off these diseases. It is hard to determine the exact number of how many people mosquitos kill each year, but it is in the millions.
