(1/6) As this year's #WorldMosquitoDay campaign comes to a close, we reflect on the global fight against malaria.

Ending malaria doesn't just involve science. Strong policies, cross-border collaboration, and sustained investment are essential. Let’s keep malaria on the global agenda.

This week we are celebrating #WorldMosquitoDay! Hear from Transmission Zero researcher, Kirsty Moane, about how decoding mosquito immune responses in the midgut could pave the way for malaria-resistant mosquitoes and disrupt parasite transmission.

#WorldMosquitoDay is not only a reminder of the global health burden caused by mosquitoes, but also an opportunity to celebrate progress and innovation!

Scientific breakthroughs, like gene drive technology are driving us closer to a malaria-free world.

Today commemorates the 1897 discovery that female Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria to humans. Despite this historic achievement, malaria continues to claim many lives every year. Through research, community action, and global cooperation, we can achieve a malaria-free world!

This Wednesday marks #WorldMosquitoDay!

The Anopheles mosquito, responsible for spreading #malaria, goes through four unique life stages: egg, larva, pupae, and adult.

Understanding malaria begins with understanding the mosquitoes themselves. Read our factsheet below 🔽

We had the honour to meet with H.E Former President Kikwete of Tanzania this Sunday to discuss the international Transmission Zero project.

This meeting served as a powerful reminder of the value of international collaboration, which is essential for driving sustainable progress in public health.
