Hot on the heels of #WorldMosquitoDay 🦟, we’re delighted to share our new paper.
What if vaccines targeted not only the virus, but also the mosquito that helps transmit it?

🦟World Mosquito Day

Nobody Talks About… the anxiety that can come with constantly worrying about mosquito bites, dengue, and getting sick.

Your health worries are valid. Take precautions, but don’t let fear take over.

A digital drawing of a brown anthropomorphic mosquito wearing a suit. The suit is blackish blue with red highlights, a white shirt, red tie and various London underground symbols on different parts of the uniform. The symbol is a red circle with a hole in the middle with a blue straight line going through it. The mosquito is also wearing black shoes. The insect is hairy and has thin hairy antenna, greenish brown eyes and a light brown abdomen with dark stripes on it. It has clear wings with a brown tint sticking out from behind it's back and the wing is also covered in small hairs. There is a big sign next to the mosquito in big red capital letters that says the London underground mosquito. Beneath this in smaller darker reddish brown letters that are not all capital letters, it says Culex pipiens f. molestus.

And I’m happy to get bitten by them so that everyone else will not have to, one day! 🥴

Not only are mosquito bites annoying, it can spread deadly pathogens. Let’s keep funding scientific research so we can continue to #fightthebite 💪💪💪❌🦟

A group of individuals seated indoors watches a person standing and speaking. The setting appears to be an educational session with informational posters on the walls. The text on the image reads: "Fighting malaria in Uganda. How a national immunization program is setting a powerful example for malaria prevention at scale." The bottom section includes the logo and name "PATH" with a design element next to it. Infographic titled "The Challenge" with decorative symbols at the top. Text states Uganda has approximately 13.2 million malaria cases annually, ranking third-highest worldwide. It mentions a four-dose vaccine as hopeful but highlights challenges such as caregivers living far from health centers, juggling work and family, or lacking information about vaccination locations. An arrow is at the bottom right. An adult holds a young child in a crowded setting, with several people nearby appearing engaged in conversation. The image is part of a presentation about Uganda's National Expanded Program on Immunization and PATH, focusing on healthcare improvements and malaria vaccination. Text below highlights the program's impact on over 1.1 million children in 105 districts. A quote on malaria vaccination impact states: "We have shown that malaria vaccination at a large scale is possible. The task now is to protect those gains, strengthen sustainability, and translate strong coverage into lasting reductions in malaria-related illnesses and deaths." The quote is attributed to Dr. Rita Atugonza, Deputy Program Manager, UNEPI. The background is blue with various geometric shapes in red and orange at the top.

There are no approved vaccines for dengue or Zika virus, but Dr. Shresta is working to change that. Her lab is developing tools to help us fight many mosquito-borne viruses at once.

These vaccines would bring us closer to LJI’s mission: Life Without Disease.

🦟 It's #WorldMosquitoDay. An important day to note that 95% of major U.S. cities now face an average of 18 more "mosquito disease days" per year compared to the 70s.

San Antonio has its first case of West Nile Virus, months earlier than usual.

Malaria remains one of the clearest examples of unequal progress in global health.

Africa accounts for 95% of deaths. A child still dies every minute.

Progress is real where access expands, but no single tool is enough.

Protection must be layered, sustained, and evolving.
