People vs mosquitoes: What about our biggest killers?

We're at war with mosquitoes. With a flying, consumer army of 110 trillion patrol mosquitoes on every corner of the globe except Antarctica, Iceland, and a few islands. This insect's feminine fighter is armed with at least 15 deadly biological weapons that can be used against 7.7 billion people.

In fact, our defence budget against them does not exceed 11 billion for a year, but it is growing sharply. Yet, offensive campaigns and crimes against humanity by mosquitoes continue. While our counterattacks are reducing the death tolls from malaria that are constantly falling the mosquito remains the most lethal hunter of human beings on the planet.

Statistics say that mosquitoes killed some 2 million people since 2000. Other animals are much lower.

Yet, mosquitoes do not hurt anyone directly. They are toxic and highly evolved diseases that transmit endless equality of destruction and death. Without it, however, these bad pathogens could not move or turn to people. Without these mosquitoes, such diseases would not exist.

Our immune system is thoroughly in accordance with our environment. Mosquitoes do not respect international borders. They bring new diseases from far away. After all, the truth is that more than as an outside participant, mosquitoes, such as the deadliest hunters of humans, moved the events of human history to create our current reality.

It's been one of the most annoying voices on Earth for 190 million years. She's like anyone without making distinctions, ethnicity, culture, nation, religion, etc.

The myth that mosquitoes prefer women to men is false. Yet, they do have certain preferences. For example, they attack more people who drink beer. Also, those wearing bright colors.

Unlike the feminine gender, male mosquitoes do not strike. Their world is about two things: nectar and sex.

The Bill Gates Foundation, the richest man on the planet, is also involved in the fight against mosquitoes. Our investments in mosquito control include non-traditional biological and genetic efforts and also new chemical interventions that target the depletion or removal of mosquito - transmitted diseases. ”

However, the elimination of mosquitoes endangers the biological balance of nature. What could happen if we destroyed the species that play the essential and unknown role in our ecosystem?
