Humans are the world's deadliest animal. Mosquitoes are second.
For more detail on mosquito-borne diseases generally, see

Malaria in dataDiseases have always dwarfed human activities for the most deaths. The swine flu epidemic of 1918-1920 killed off twice as many people as all the deaths from all sides in World War I and did it in less than half the time.
Mosquito-borne diseases cause millions of deaths per year. Deaths from malaria - just one of the mosquito-borne diseases - are difficult to estimate and there are conflicting estimates. Humans may become the world's deadliest animal if current declines in mosquito-borne infection and fatality continue.
