I was expecting it would be something fearsome like lions, sharks, or snakes. It didn't cross my mind that it would be this small and annoying Mosquito.
Mosquitoes are a vector agent that carries disease-causing viruses and parasites from person to person without catching the disease themselves.
The principal mosquito borne diseases are the viral diseases yellow fever, dengue fever and Chikungunya, transmitted mostly by the Aedes aegypti, and malaria carried by the genus Anopheles. Though originally a public health concern, HIV is now thought to be almost impossible for mosquitoes to transmit.
At least 2 million people annually die of these diseases.
