Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that occurs in over 100 countries worldwide and puts up to 40% of the world's population at risk of infection. With no known vaccine or cure this can result in 50 - 100 million cases and upwards of 40,000 deaths a year.
Our research group is developing a new biocontrol strategy that will reduce or incapacitate the mosquito populations that transmit dengue between people.
This website follows our team and the research it is undertaking and provides up-to-date information on current progress.
