23.01.2022 The World Mosquito Program is improving global health by contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular Global Goal #3 G...ood Health & Well-being. Our innovative Wolbachia method helps to reduce the ability of mosquitoes to transmit viruses to people, decreasing the risk of dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever outbreaks.

23.01.2022 8 year-old Layla , inspired by her mother’s work with WMP, surprised us with this little gift. A simple yet powerful message that helps drive us towards our goal.

21.01.2022 Our tiny but mighty #Wolbachia is: + effective in combatting against mosquito-borne diseases. + safe for humans, animals and the environment.

17.01.2022 Meet Francisca and Mario, two fantastic community members who are showing their support for the World Mosquito Program México by volunteering to host 'Zancu Kit...s' in their homes. Zancu Kits are cardboard containers with Wolbachia carrying mosquito eggs and water inside. Eventually, the eggs will hatch and adult mosquitoes will emerge to join the local mosquito population, preventing the transmission of harmful diseases. Find out what Francisca and Mario have to say about our project in their home town: http://bit.ly/2VpWKi0

12.01.2022 3 billion people are at risk from mosquito-borne diseases like Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever, but we have the solution to protect communities from ...these devastating illnesses. We work with Doctor Tri Kusumo in Yogyakarta to monitor dengue patients in our landmark research study in Indonesia. Dr Kusumo is hopeful that the World Mosquito Program will not only be a success across Indonesia but all around the world. Together, we can fight mosquito-borne diseases and improve the lives of millions of people. #WorldMosquitoDay #ReleasingHope

11.01.2022 You're not imagining it mosquitoes really are attracted to some people more than others.

08.01.2022 We love this one

06.01.2022 This Sunday is #WorldScienceDay! So, we thought we’d ask some of our scientists to share some cool things they’ve learnt since working with WMP. --- Did ...you knowMosquitoes prefer humans with high blood cholesterol levels. Or that...It’s possible to dissect salivary glands from a mosquito. I’d never considered that to be something people would want to do, let alone something that was possible! More to come! See more

04.01.2022 Our intervention depends on #love. When the World Mosquito Program's #Wolbachia mosquitoes find a mate in the wild - and consummate their love - they are helping bring an end to the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Happy #Valentine's Day.

01.01.2022 #WorldMosquitoDay 2020 They do it regardless of the outcome because they’re attached to the idea. It’s a strange business Professor Scott O’Neill descr...ibes the obsession required to achieve a groundbreaking scientific outcome. --- World Mosquito Day, on 20th August, commemorates Sir Ronald Ross' ground-breaking discovery that female mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans. In the lead up to this day, we’ll share a series of videos of our Program Director, Prof. Scott O'Neill, who will shed light on WMP's journey from its early days in the lab to what has now become a global health intervention. #ReleasingHope See more
