Malaria, it has the highest death count.
Edit: Death to all mosquitos. If it wasn't for restrictions on DDT in developing countries we could have nipped this problem in the bud. But I think Yellow Fever and Malaria have different carrier species.

I know....and the problems from eradicating an entire species have to be researched in detail in case we cause greater problems down the line?

Eh, probably. I would advocate testing a mosquito eradication program before making far-reaching assumptions about the ecosystem. I doubt mosquitoes are a fundamental part of any ecosystem, especially with the amphibian populations in decline.
