Those buzzing blood-suckers mosquitoes are the deadliest animal in the world – and chances are you have one in your house right now.
The insects are estimated to cause between 750,000 – one million deaths every year.
This is because they are a vector of disease, transmitting illnesses like malaria, dengue fever, zika virus, Japanese encephalitis and more.
The former – malaria – is by far the most vicious. In 2021 it claimed 619,000 lives.
