A $35 million project to combat the mosquito threat.

Anna-Bella Failloux, an entomologist at the Pasteur Institute (France), warns that rising temperatures due to human-induced global warming have created “an increasingly vast playground” for mosquitoes and the many diseases they spread, such as yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, or Zika.

The World Health Organization says that 80% of the world's population is now at risk of contracting one or more infectious diseases that were once considered tropical but have now spread globally. According to the UN agency, these diseases claim the lives of more than 1 million people each year, the majority of whom are children.

Starting in 2028, expert Failloux (who has over 30 years of research on mosquito-borne diseases) will lead a team of around 15 specialists to develop mosquito control strategies. This €30 million ($35 million) project is funded by the Pasteur Institute.
