This page contains links to website pages of research groups' whose goals are to fight the spread of mosquito-borne diseases around the world.
Eliminate Dengue
This international research group is dedicated to eradicating dengue by introducing mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia, a bacteria that lives inside the mosquito and inhibits the spread of dengue, into the wild. They have had success in Australia and are looking to expand their efforts into Vietnam and Thailand.
