World Mosquito Day – Addressing a Global Health Challenge
On August 20, 1897, British physician Sir Ronald Ross made a pioneering breakthrough by identifying the malaria parasite within a female Anopheles mosquito, marking the first proof that mosquitoes can transmit malaria among humans. In recognition of this historic achievement, World Mosquito Day was established.
Every year on Aug 20, World Mosquito Day serves as a vital occasion to highlight the threats of mosquito-borne illnesses and to promote awareness of global initiatives combatting one of the most dangerous creatures to human health.

Success Stories-The World Mosquito Program (WMP)
Mosquito-borne outbreaks are unpredictable, and reactive response systems are costly, slow, and often too late. The World Mosquito Program (WMP) offers a safe, scientifically proven and cost-effective alternative already successfully deployed in 15 countries worldwide.

Success Stories - Project Wolbachia in Singapore
Dengue fever has been endemic in Singapore for decades, with thousands of cases reported annually. Traditional vector control methods have proven to be only partially effective. The National Environment Agency (NEA) has found that the Wolbachia-Aedes suppression technology is most suitable for Singapore’s context and initiated Project Wolbachia in 2016.
Heatmaps below illustrate the “eraser effect,” as high Aedes aegypti populations (dark red) gradually decline after releases.

Fight against chikungunya, in Southern China
During the recent Chikungunya fever outbreak, Guangdong took the following actions to achieve effective and rapid epidemic control:
- Rapid Activation of Emergency Response Mechanisms.
Immediately formed a task force for epidemic control, activated relevant response levels, and improved information sharing efficiency
- Epidemiological Investigation and Case Screening.
Timely case tracing, epidemiological investigation, and contact screening to swiftly identify sources of infection and transmission chains
- Strengthened Vector Mosquito Control.
Launched large-scale mosquito eradication actions, including insecticide spraying, elimination of standing water, and public education on mosquito prevention, thereby reducing transmission risk
- Medical Treatment and Surveillance.
Ensured timely treatment and hospitalization of suspected and confirmed cases, and maintained accessible medical services for patients
- Enhanced Health Education and Community Mobilization.
Disseminated prevention knowledge about Chikungunya fever to communities, encouraged prompt reporting of fever and suspected symptoms, and raised public awareness for disease control
- Cross-Sectoral Collaboration.
Promoted coordinated efforts among health, CDC, housing, and environmental departments to implement comprehensive control measures and secure emergency supplies
