I thought I would just give an update, I have been busy working hard in the laboratory for the past few weeks, I have some even busier times coming up.
I have been looking at deadly animals recently just for some light reading and I found some interesting links which I would like to share:
I have found an interesting image recently, see this article and image (see image below)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2615737/Forget-sharks-mosquitoes-SNAILS-worlds-deadliest-animals-Graphic-reveals-human-races-biggest-killers.html
I thought it was quite interesting, I am not surprised by the mosquito, they carry a fair few parasites and viruses etc... I was quite surprised at how many people are killed by snakes and rabies from dogs.
I also found this list and image on deadly animals:

and
http://www.care2.com/greenliving/worlds-top-10-deadliest-animals.html
Again I was surprised by some of the figures, i think its amazing how there are so many different views of which animals are the most deadly, there are so many factors that could be considered.
I found that a documentary called Worlds worst venom which is also very interesting, I think it is a very good documentary on venomous animals.
I am very interested in diseases transmitted by the mosquito, especially parasitic diseases, I may begin to focus on this in my next post.
