My name is Martha Tomlinson and I did this page when I was a second year chemical physics student studying at Bristol university. We were set a web page to do as part of a national competition and to teach us new skills. I decided to do it on mosquitoes as every year I'm bitten to pieces and it gave me an excuse to do some research into the problem. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any new advances but if you know of any then please let me know!

As you may have guessed already this is my first web page and therefore I apologise for any problems that you may have had with it.

To email me please write to flameee@hotmail.com
