Комахи й ризики для здоров’я | Insects and health risks

This list combines different kinds of hazards; it is not a scientific ranking of the “deadliest” insects. Mosquitoes, fleas, tsetse flies, and triatomine bugs can transmit pathogens—for example, malaria, plague, African trypanosomiasis, and Chagas disease. Bees, wasps, hornets, and fire ants are hazardous mainly through stings and severe allergic reactions, while locusts harm people indirectly through threats to crops and food supplies. Risks vary by species and region. The source’s “African ant” is not identified, so it cannot be checked as a specific species or group.
