The Aedes aegypti mosquito didn’t adapt by accident. It adapted to us. It thrives in cities, breeding in small pockets of still water. That’s why we focus on understanding their behaviour, not just fighting outbreaks. Smarter prevention starts with how the problem actually works. #FunFactFriday

The world's fastest-spreading mosquito-borne disease now threatens more than half of humanity. Dengue's scale and speed make it one of our most urgent public health challenges which is exactly why our #Wolbachia method matters. We're working with nature to protect communities. #FunFactFriday

Nature names Luciano Moreira one of 2025's most influential scientists. He convinced Brazil to release billions of mosquitoes—dengue dropped 89% in Niterói. Profile: www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-…

When mosquitoes carry #Wolbachia, they can't transmit #dengue, #Zika or #chikungunya to people. Once released, they breed naturally to create self-sustaining protection. The evidence 👉 77% dengue reduction (Yogyakarta), 20-year low (Aburrá Valley), decade of protection (Queensland). 1/2

World Mosquito Program @worldmosquitoprogram.org · 21/11/2025

Did you know mosquitoes hibernate when it gets cold? Below 10°C, they shut down & their eggs wait for warmer weather to hatch. Our #Wolbachia method works with mosquitoes' natural biology to protect communities from #dengue, #Zika & #chikungunya – nature working smarter. #funfactfriday

World Mosquito Program @worldmosquitoprogram.org · 14/11/2025

Ever wondered why mosquito bites itch? Mosquitoes inject saliva containing anticoagulants that stop your blood from clotting. Your immune system releases histamine to fight it, causing inflammation and that irresistible urge to scratch. Our #Wolbachia method blocks disease transmission naturally.

The best partnerships are built on shared commitment & scientific rigour. Last Wednesday we welcomed a delegation from Kiribati's Ministry of Health & Medical Services to our Melbourne insectaries. Together with the Australian Government, we're expanding our #Wolbachia method across South Tarawa.

Indonesia began releasing our #Wolbachia mosquitoes in Yogyakarta in 2014. 11 years later, we're working as a technical advisor to the government across five cities, protecting 1.75 million people from mosquito-borne diseases, supporting Indonesia's goal of zero #dengue deaths by 2030. 1/2

Did you know mosquitoes have been around for 220 million years – since dinosaur times? 🦕🦟 Our Wolbachia method works with nature to protect communities from diseases like dengue. We work with mosquitoes, not against them. #Funfactfriday #Mosquitofacts #Wolbachia

Mosquitoes live <2 months. Males: 10 days. Females: 8 weeks. Why this matters: female Aedes aegypti with Wolbachia pass the bacteria to future generations throughout their lives. Our #Wolbachia method is self-sustaining. One deployment. Decades of protection. #Redefinepossible #FunFactFriday

Before 2011, dengue outbreaks happened every summer in north Queensland. Today, the region is effectively dengue-free. It started in Cairns, January 2011. Communities learned about the Wolbachia method and agreed to participate. "No one's talking about dengue anymore" #ThrowbackThursday #TBT

Did you know male mosquitoes locate females by the sound of their wings? Around 400-500 wingbeats p/second. Only female mosquitoes bite. We release both sexes with #Wolbachia so the bacteria spreads naturally as they breed. Self-sustaining protection. That's how we redefine possible. #FunFactFriday
