Malaria is another disease caused by the mosquito. The world health organization estimated that there have been around 228 million cases of malaria just in 2018, with most cases taking place on the African continent. In addition, about 405,000 people died in 2018 from this dangerous disease due to the massive arrival of mosquitoes in the region.
