For agencies
For national vector control agencies, ministries of health, and institutional partners exploring Wolbachia-based vector-borne disease control in Southeast Asia.
The problem we address
Southeast Asia accounts for a disproportionate share of global dengue cases. Urban growth, changing rainfall patterns, and expanding Aedes habitats have sustained or increased transmission in many countries, despite decades of vector control effort.
Insecticide resistance in Ae. aegypti populations is well-documented across the region. Operational costs are sustained and recurring.
Wolbachia-based biocontrol is not a replacement for existing vector management. It is a complementary, non-chemical tool with a growing evidence base, and with the production infrastructure now available, it is deployable within real government programmes.
No pesticide. No genetic modification. Wolbachia is a naturally occurring bacterium. The mosquitoes we release are not GMOs.
Suppression programmes reduce the local mosquito population. Replacement programmes reduce the mosquito's capacity to transmit dengue virus. Both strategies target transmission risk at source.
Suppression programmes offer a scalable, non-chemical alternative to recurring insecticide operations. Replacement programmes, once established, are self-sustaining, reducing ongoing input requirements over time.
What we offer
We design, establish, and operate a complete Wolbachia biocontrol system built around your country, your regulatory environment, and your programme objectives.
Evaluation of suitability for your setting: species profiling, geographic assessment, regulatory landscape review, and programme design options.
Design, establishment, and operational support for in-country rearing and sex-sorting facilities, scalable from pilot to full programme capacity.
Protocol development for suppression (IIT) or replacement, covering release density, scheduling, zone coverage, and integration with existing operations.
Guidance through national and regional approval frameworks, with documentation support for programme authorisation.
Release scheduling and logistics, field monitoring system design, trap network setup, and ongoing programme evaluation to track suppression outcomes.
Who we work with
Ministries of health and national vector control bodies exploring non-chemical interventions for dengue. We work at national programme scale.
Sub-national public health authorities managing vector control in specific zones, particularly cities with sustained dengue burden.
Development finance bodies, international public health organisations, and research institutions supporting Wolbachia biocontrol capability development in the region.
How to begin
Every engagement begins with a briefing: a structured conversation about your programme context, objectives, regulatory environment, and timeline. No commitment is required at this stage.
Useful context to bring
Which dengue vectors are present in your target area
Geographic scope and urban/peri-urban character
Existing vector control operations and infrastructure
Regulatory environment for novel biocontrol methods
Programme timeline and funding structure
A structured conversation about your setting: target species, geographic scope, disease burden, regulatory environment, and existing operations. No commitment required.
A detailed written review of whether Wolbachia biocontrol is appropriate for your context, covering production requirements, regulatory pathway, and programme design options.
Co-development of a full programme design covering strain selection, production infrastructure, release protocol, regulatory pathway, monitoring system, and phasing plan.
Establishment of production capability, regulatory engagement, and launch of a defined pilot with agreed monitoring criteria and decision points for scale-up.
Expansion of programme coverage, training of in-country teams, and progressive transfer of production and programme management capability to the implementing agency.
