Today is #WorldMosquitoDay! 🦟 We're highlighting the second chapter of our Gene Drive Video series on YouTube to promote the importance of innovation in vector control in the fight against #malaria. Learn more: youtube.com/shorts/kRyCW... #GeneDrive #MalariaResearch

#Malaria kills over 600,000 people each year. Current tools save lives but aren’t enough. Gene drive research could help strengthen the fight. Our #GeneDrive video series shows how gene drive mosquitoes are developed. Watch part 1: youtu.be/eWBo3D7fAcQ?... Together we can #EndMalaria.

#GeneDrive increases the chance of inheritance so a chosen genetic trait spreads through a mosquito population. Gene drive is a new approach which could complement existing #Malaria control tools. Together we can #EndMalaria!

We are working on #GeneDrive mosquitoes that carry a genetic modification aimed at reducing the number of #Malaria mosquitoes, with only 4 out of 600+ species of mosquitoes accounting for the most of malaria transmission in Africa. Do you know which mosquito transmits malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa?

#GeneDrive boosts inheritance of certain traits to spread through mosquito populations. This new tool is being explored to #EndMalaria in Sub‑Saharan Africa alongside bed nets, insecticides & vaccines. Get involved: targetmalaria.org/world-malari... #WorldMalariaDay #ZeroMalaria #NowWeCanNowWeMust

Every year, #Malaria kills over 600,000 people & infects over 282 million people, many victims being children under five in Africa. We need new tools to #EndMalaria! Get involved this #WorldMalariaDay: targetmalaria.org/world-malari... #ZeroMalaria #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #NowWeCanNowWeMust
