One of the beastly phenomena in the world is the existence
of many animal species which have proved deadly in every circumstance. As the
world houses numerous dangerous creatures, scientific researches and studies
tend to draw attention on the very deadliest of these creatures.
Do you know the world’s deadliest animals might not be the ones we fear most? Certainly, animals with
large bodies and frightening appearances might be less deadly if compared with
some tiny and dangerous animals.

In most cases, we regard tiny animals as less dangerous
whereas the natural environment houses some insects capable of infecting humans
with ominous diseases.

Mosquito
Right here on the list, the mosquito has emerged as the most
dangerous animal. You might not believe this owing to your belief that the
mosquito is a tiny creature you could easily kill with just a swipe of the hand.
Though the very tiniest mosquito could be three millimeters in size, mosquitoes
are very deadly animals and by reason of this, they have appeared as the cause
of many deaths.

Mosquitoes are well-known as pathogen carriers. In this
regard, the female anopheles mosquito induces malaria, which in turn, results
in death for many people (most especially infants). On the other hand, the male
culex mosquito induces elephantiasis which is considered one of the fatal
diseases inflicted by vectors.

Tsetse Fly
However the tiny nature of its body, the tsetse fly is
usually considered the deadliest fly in the world. With its miniature body
extending from 8-17mm, the tsetse fly is one of the prevalent flies in some
African countries including Angola, DR Congo, Sudan, etc.

Other than the verity that tsetse flies are exasperating and
tiny creatures which pierce and suck human blood, the very deadliest effect of
their bites is the spread of trypanosomiasis. Meanwhile, trypanosomiasis
(sleeping sickness) results from trypanosomes –the parasitic protozoa carried
and spread by tsetse flies.
