How we work with communities
The World Mosquito Program’s Wolbachia method is helping communities to protect themselves from mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever. Using our cutting-edge technology, we are working with communities, local health authorities and non-government organisations to prevent the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases without risking human health or natural ecosystems.
We have received widespread support around the world and have collaborated with local community groups, governments and health agencies in 12 countries.
In particular, public health officials have praised our Wolbachia method for making northern Queensland in Australia essentially dengue free.
