MOSQUITO - A SIMPLE MURDERER

What would you answer if I asked you which animal kills more humans? maybe you would tell me the lions, sharks, tigers, crocodiles, some poisonous animal, etc. Well, you're close, but what if I tell you that a simple insect is the cause of most human deaths? WOOW, surprising that an insect such as the mosquito is the cause of most human deaths.

MOSQUITO THE MURDERER
On our planet there are many varieties of mosquito species around 2,500 species of mosquitoes that exist around our planet, the mosquito is the cause of approximately 725 thousand annual deaths of humans, which in itself exceeds the deaths that are due to human attacks that It is around 475 thousands of deaths per year.

the mosquito is a great propagator of diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, malaria, chikungunya, among others, where malaria is claimed 600 thousand deaths, where almost the entire population is exposed to infection and remain as the 200 million of people who become infected and become incapacitated for a short or long time.

In Indonesia, a bacterium controlling dengue is already being tested, where scientists aim to create a colony of mosquitoes that carry the bacteria where mosquitoes breed with wild mosquitoes where recent mosquitoes would no longer have the bacteria.
