LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW THE WORLD MOSQUITO PROGRAM IS PROTECTING COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD FROM MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASES.

 

The World Mosquito Program (WMP) is a not-for-profit group of companies owned by Monash University that works to protect the global community from mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever and chikungunya.  

Since releasing the first Wolbachia mosquitoes in 2011, evidence from international pilot studies shows that we can use Wolbachia more broadly to decrease the risk of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transmitting viruses. Multiple trials in various locations demonstrate that our method is a safe and effective way to help prevent the spread of diseases across entire cities and regions.

We continue to rapidly expand our operations by building partnerships with local governments and communities around the world who are embracing our Wolbachia method.
