The interesting version of this is to exterminate the malaria carrying mosquito species. Only 40 of 3500 species can carry malaria. If we wipe them out, non malaria carrying species will likely take their place in the ecosystems.

250 million people have malaria, and 600k, mostly children die from it yearly.

And yet, I see a lot more people defending the mosquitos than the humans.
