Why? An organism that causes millions of human deaths needs to be wiped out. This is an evolutionary imperative. If a species (humans) get out-competed to death at large scale it will go extinct.

And snakes.

But mosquitoes blow the rest of these out of the water with staggering numbers of human deaths on their hands.
