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 🔽

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!

At Transmission Zero we're proud to be working on innovative new tools for malaria control with our partners at the Gates Foundation. This huge announcement is a massive step towards achieving a malaria-free future in our lifetime!
No mother or child should die from a preventable cause. No generation should live in fear of deadly infectious diseases. And no one should be denied the chance to thrive because of where they were born. gatesnot.es/4m5pSc3
