A surprising addition to the list is the tapeworm.

The parasite burrows into your gut and causes an infection called cysticerosis.

9. Crocodiles – 1,000 deaths a year

Crocodiles kill around 1,000 each year but many deaths go unreported

These scaly predators have been considered responsible for the most human deaths in Africa.

Concrete numbers are difficult to gather as most attacks take place in remote areas and are not widely reported but 1,000 deaths is the best estimate.

8. Roundworms – 4,500 deaths a year

The Ascaris roundworm causes an infection called aschariasis.

They are the most common form of parasitic worm in humans.

Aschariasis is a condition that affects the small intestine and it can be deadly.

More children are affected by these parasites than adults.

7. Tsetse fly – around 10,000 deaths a year

These flies can give you a disease called sleeping sickness.

It can cause headaches, fever, joint pain, and itchiness before leading to neurological conditions.

However, it is thought that the number of deaths that this insect causes is decreasing.

6. Assassin bug – around 12,000 deaths a year

Freshwater snails carry parasitic worms that can give people a disease called schistosomiasis.

This occurs when larval forms of the parasite penetrate the skin when victims come into contact with infested water.

The disease is most commonly found in Africa, Asia and South America where millions of people contract it each year leading to thousands of deaths.

Symptoms include abdominal pain and anal bleeding.

4. Dogs – 35,000 deaths a year

Snakes are thought to kill around 100,000 people each year but the number could be much higher as reliable data from all countries with deadly reptiles has been difficult to obtain.

Business Insider notes that there is a troubling global shortage of antivenom.

2. Humans – 440,000 deaths a year

According to fairly recent statistics, humans are the second most deadly animal in the world

This almost makes us our own worst enemy.

Worryingly, you are more likely to be murdered by someone you know.

1. Mosquitos – 750,000 deaths a year

Mosquitos are the biggest killer because they spread diseases easily and quickly.

A mosquito bite can lead to deadly conditions like malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever.

Malaria by itself is responsible for more than half of mosquito-related deaths.
