As we prepare for the next stage of our field trial in Townsville, we’re asking thousands of locals to join our team to help combat dengue by growing and releasing their own Wolbachia mosquitoes.
More than 100 school students will begin rearing their own Wolbachia mosquitoes this week, with the launch of the “Wolbachia Warriors” program in Townsville, Australia.
Initial results from our first city-wide field trial suggest that efforts to establish Wolbachia in the local mosquito population are on track in Townsville, Australia.
