“For more than 15 years, the World Mosquito Program has worked with Queensland Health to help safeguard the region from diseases like dengue.
The program releases Aedes aegypti (dengue) mosquitoes carrying a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia.
This bacteria is found in more than 50 per cent of all insect species and stops the mosquitoes from transmitting viruses such as dengue and Zika.”

#News: #Deforestation is making mosquitoes bite humans more! 🧐🦟 As #forests disappear, #mosquitoes lose their natural prey and target us instead, spreading diseases like #Zika and #dengue fever. 🌴☠️🚫 #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260115022754.htm?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer
In the rapidly disappearing Atlantic Forest, mosquitoes are adapting to a human-dominated landscape. Scientists found that many species now prefer feeding on people rather than the forest’s diverse wildlife. This behavior dramatically raises the risk of spreading dangerous viruses such as dengue and Zika. The findings reveal how deforestation can quietly reshape disease dynamics.
Ein Forscherteam hat mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz die #Proteinstrukturen der #Flaviviridae-#Virenfamilie untersucht, zu der u.a. #HepatitisC, #Zika und #Dengue gehören.
Dabei haben sie Entdeckungen gemacht, die die Entwicklung von #Impfstoffen erleichtern könnten.

HONOLULU — The Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) has identified a travel-related case of Zika virus and a separate travel-related case of dengue virus. Although both are on Oʻahu, these are unrelated cases. The affected individuals were exposed to the respective virus while traveling in regions where Zika or dengue virus is known to circulate. […]
