Imagine pain so intense, you feel like your bones are breaking. That's dengue fever.

Dengue fever is nicknamed "breakbone fever". And for good reason. The severe joint and muscle pain it causes is so intense that patients describe feeling like their bones are breaking.

A single mosquito bite can lead to weeks of high fever, debilitating pain and complete exhaustion.

Dengue continues to spread across more than 100 countries, affecting up to 400 million people annually. Our Wolbachia method provides a natural, safe and self-sustaining way to reduce dengue transmission, and we're already making a difference in 15 countries around the world.

By introducing Wolbachia bacteria into mosquito populations, we block their ability to spread the dengue virus.

No chemicals.

No genetic modification.

Just nature-based science protecting communities for the long term.
