Mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths than any other type of animal. No other animal comes close to the number of deaths caused by mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes are estimated to transmit disease to more than 700 million people annually in Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico, Russia and much of Asia with millions of resulting deaths. At least 2 million people annually die of these diseases.

20,000 to 94,000 people worldwide die each year from snakebites, according to Kasturiratne et. al.
