We’re back for Day 2 of the Great Exhibition Road Festival! 🦟 It was amazing to meet so many of you yesterday! If you missed us yesterday – or want to come back for more – we're here again today at the Smith Centre, Science Museum from 12 – 6pm

We had the honour to meet with H.E Former President Kikwete of Tanzania this Sunday to discuss the Transmission Zero project. This meeting served as a powerful reminder of the value of international collaboration, which is essential for driving sustainable progress in health.

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 ⬇️

Tomorrow is #WorldMosquitoDay! Hear from Transmission Zero researcher Calvin Yee about his work developing robust and efficient monitoring tools to support gene drive field trials - an essential step in validating this novel technology.

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!

The fight against malaria requires an invigorated global effort that is smarter and more united than ever. Beatrice P. Magani of Transmission Zero tells us how outsmarting mosquitoes can achieve a healthier future this #WorldMosquitoDay.

#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. Read our factsheet below!

"This breakthrough is a potential turning point." @billgates shares his excitement as Ifakara Health Institute and our @Transm0 team work to stop mosquitoes from spreading malaria 🦟 #WorldMosquitoDay gatesnotes.com/the-buzz-stops…

This #WorldMosquitoDay we are delighted to see our research, and the breakthroughs of our team at Ifakara Health Institute, highlighted in Gates Notes here: bit.ly/3HH1ldR | bit.ly/3JIGIP2 It’s an honour to be working toward a malaria-free world together! 🌍

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.

Malaria elimination depends on innovation, especially as the challenges posed by climate change intensify. Rachel Mtama of Transmission Zero highlights how innovative new technologies can be used effectively alongside existing control measures.

Climate change is intensifying the risk posed by mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria. Felista Tarimo of Transmission Zero reminds us that lasting progress against malaria begins with informed and empowered communities.

Only through united global action can we accelerate the fight against malaria. Pratima Chennuri of Transmission Zero calls for international collaboration and innovation this #WorldMosquitoDay.
