Common house flies are commonly considered 'dirty' and certainly are seen as 'annoying' or 'unpleasant'. However, no house fly (Musca domestica) is responsible for the vicious amount of deaths resulting from mosquito-spread malaria.

Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of the malarial Plasmodium parasite. Malaria kills millions of people a year.

I would say that, due to the amount of deaths due to mosquito-vectored malaria, mosquitoes are deadlier than flies.
