A Mosquito, a flying parasite, doesn't actually kill people by its own merit. 1-2 a year most likely. What makes mosquitoes so deadly is their disease transmission. When a mosquito attaches to a host, it draws blood as a means of nourishment. incidentally, mosquitoes go mostly unchecked in areas such as Africa, which also has many unchecked diseases. In one feeding, a mosquito can easily bite 4 to 5 people, and assuming that the mosquito has bitten an infected host, it can then transmit that disease to 4 to 5 people. So it follows that the number of infected can increase exponentially, for when one of the 4-5 people is bitten by another mosquito, that mosquito can go on to infect another 4-5 people.

SO

Mosquitoes worldwide infect around 250 million people with malaria. About 2-3 million people die from it. The remainder of the diseases that mosquitoes carry kill in the hundreds of thousands.
