What are the most deadly bacteria parasite and virus?

Well, in terms of most deaths per year: -Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes the disease Tuberculosis, kills more people a year than any other bacteria (about 1.5 million deaths a year). -Plasmodium, a genus of protozoan parasites (the deadliest species being Plasmodium Falciparum) that causes the disease Malaria, kills more people a year than any other parasite (about 2 million deaths a year). -Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes the disease Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), kills more people than any other virus (about 2 million deaths a year). In terms of highest fatality rate, then I don't know. However, I do know that an infection by the Zaïre virus (a type of Ebola virus) has a fatality rate of over 80%. That's less than one case out of five that survives. It's also of note that if Tuberculosis and Malaria are addressed immediately and receive proper medical attention, they can be treated so that the disease does not accelerate death. Most Malaria-caused deaths are in children under 8 years old that do not receive medical attention. AIDS treatment, however, only delays death. Treatment can keep victims alive for decades (though most victims die much sooner), though eventually the virus will overcome.
