An article by Bill Gates. What would you say is the
most dangerous animal
on Earth? Sharks? Snakes? Humans? Of course the answer depends on how
you define dangerous. If you're judging by how many people are killed by
an animal every year, then the answer isn't any of the above. It's
mosquitoes. When it comes to killing humans, no other animal even comes
close.
Mosquitoes carry devastating diseases. The worst is malaria, which kills
more than 600,000 people every year; another 200 million cases
incapacitate people for days at a time. It threatens half of the world's
population and causes billions of dollars in lost productivity
annually.
