Anopheles Mosquito, World's Deadliest Insect
Saturday, December 15, 2007
The female Anopheles Mosquito (scientific name: Anopheles Stephensi) is considered the world's deadliest insect. This is because this mosquito is the sole carrier of the Malaria parasite which results to 400–900 million cases of fever and approximately one to three million deaths annually — this represents at least one death every 30 seconds.
