Mosquitoes

Throughout human history, a tiny insect has influenced wars, shaped settlement patterns, halted major engineering projects, and caused more deaths than almost any other animal.

Learn more about mosquitoes, how they became one of humanity’s greatest biological enemies, and how we learned to fight them, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
