Dengue fever is the world’s fastest growing mosquito-borne disease. Over 50 million people suffer from this painful and sometimes fatal condition, and 40% of the world’s population may be at risk.

Through cutting edge science, Oxitec has developed a ground-breaking new approach to tackling the threat from Dengue – using genetic modification to target the mosquitoes which spread the disease.
