More than 3,000 cases of dengue have been reported in Northeastern Mindanao at region XIII or otherwise known as Caraga Region consisting of 4 provinces: Agusan del Norte and Sur, Surigao del Norte and Sur. Dengue is a mosquito borne disease and is also a hemorrhagic fever just like Ebola.
While the rest of the world are alarmed over Ebola (where there are only 2,000 cases; we should be equally alarmed at this high incidence of dengue.
Dengue can be controlled by controlling the breeding places of mosquitoes and even planting citronella grass which are plentiful and can be had for free.
Who estimates that there are about 50 to 100 million dengue infections a year worldwide. An Oxford study estimates this to be very much higher 390 million a year.
The health care industry definitely had demand for workers in this field of study. (But is likely to be avoided being very deadly)
Thus the deadliest animal (born to kill) is still what? Mosquitoes. Deaths from mosquito bite is conservatively estimated to be a million a year. Snake bites do not come close. (about 50,000 a year) Deaths from sharks is under l00 a year.
