The 15 Biggest Human Killers by Bill Gates

Bill Gates created a graphic that shows the main killers of the human race.

Mosquitoes kill more people than the rest of the list combined. Malaria, which is spread by mosquitoes, kills 600,000 people annually. For example, sharks kill about 10 people in the same period, lions - 100 human individuals, crocodiles send to the other world about 1000 people.

The Gates Foundation has long been working to eradicate malaria as well as other diseases from mosquito bites, including dengue fever, yellow fever and encephalitis. Another nondescript killer is a snail.

Schistosomiasis, which is blamed for 10,000 deaths each year, is spread by tiny parasitic snails living in rivers and lakes in subtropical and tropical regions around the world. They penetrate human skin to lay eggs.

This condition can include leg paralysis and vomiting, as well as flu-like symptoms. This is mainly due to poor living conditions, overcrowding, poor sanitation and lack of clean water. A total of 10,000 people die each year from Chagas disease. The tsetse fly, which carries sleeping sickness, is responsible for the deaths of 10,000 people annually.
