Question

Is it true that mosqiutoes are the most dangerous animals in the world if not what is the most dangerous??

Answer 1

Mosquitoes do indeed kill more humans than even other humans.

Technically, it's not the mosquitoes themselves, but the diseases they carry.

Close to a million people die in Sub-Saharan Africa alone every year from mosquito-borne malaria.

When you add in the deaths from dengue, yellow fever and the hundreds of varieties of encephalitis (i.e. West Nile virus), not just in Africa, but including Asia and South America, the number rises even higher.

A recent study by the Harvard Medical School and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation have estimated the death toll from war over the last 50 years to be 378,000 a year.

So as dangerous as humans and human warfare are, we still don't come close to the death toll from mosquitoes - and that's with modern medicine.

Answer 2

First Mosquitoes are not the Animals.

Answer 5

I think mosquitoes are probably right up there with the most dangerous animals. They give you malaria, Ross River Fever, untold numbers of parasites. They give dogs and other animals heartworm.

Truly it is difficult to know what animal has killed more creatures than a mosqu......

Oh I'm sorry. Of course MAN is the most dangerous animal on the planet.Even mosquitoes can't kill that many!

Answer 6

the atomic bomb is by far the most dangerous animal in the world.thanks for the question.

Answer 7

NO.  The most dangerous animal in the world is MAN.  Animals kill to survive, either to feed or to defend themselves, including bacteria and viruses.  

Man kills for many reasons, most of which are ridiculous, stupid, asinine, illogical, and totally without reason, and have nothing to do with food or survival.

He kills in stupid, meaningless wars.  He kills to prove his manhood.  He kills for spite and jealousy.  He kills for fun.  He kills for sport (now how incredibly insane is that).  He kills for religion.  He kills for property.  He kills because of racial prejudice.  He kills out of superstition.  He kills because others do not believe the way he does. He kills out of hate.   Etc, etc, etc, etc......

Did you know that more people have died in the name of religion than all other causes combined.  Think about that.

Man has destroyed more animals and other humans on this earth than all other reasons combined, included diseases.

And, the worst of all, he is going to "kill" the entire earth and everything on it, with his ceaseless increasing overpopulation.

Answer 8

Over the history of mankind mosquitos have been involved in the deaths

of millions of people so I would agree.

I've heard from more than one source that malaria has been the cause of death for half of the people who have ever lived.

Brace yourself for all the treehuggers saying "Maaaann!"
