Most mosquitoes stay under 7.6m, but some climb to 2,400m!

Our Wolbachia method is proving effective in diverse project sites, from Australia to the Aburrá Valley. Real results from working with nature.

This is actually mind-blowing when you think about it 🤯

"We take bacteria from one bug, put it in another bug, and solve dengue fever"

From lab breakthrough to community protection - now THAT'S redefining possible!
