Great to meet Brazil’s Prof Luciano Moreira, a global pioneer of the Wolbachia method to tackle dengue. DFAT’s partnership with the World Mosquito Program at @MonashUniversity is a great example of how partnerships and innovation are helping improve health security in our region.

Continuing his visit to Sri Lanka, @TimWattsMP announced AUD 2 million to support the proposed Sri Lanka Wolbachia Project for dengue control, implemented by the World Mosquito Program and Save the Children. Australia knows the impact that dengue can place on livelihoods and health systems and looks forward to working with Sri Lankan partners to help protect communities. 🇦🇺🇱🇰

"Sometimes people hear the word dengue and think it's nothing - but it can leave you very sick, or even kill you."
Today is World Dengue Day. Meet Alicia, who survived dengue in Peru and now helps her community in Comas understand and accept the Wolbachia method.
Stories like hers are why community engagement sits at the heart of how WMP works with governments to bring Wolbachia to scale.
We're sharing more this week at the Asia Dengue Summit - the team is there all week.

In the hills of Comas, Peru, community leader Carmen Luz Estrella Paz turned dengue prevention into her mission, moving her neighbours from doubt to belief in the Wolbachia method. Her conviction is simple: "Wolbachia is important - it will save lives."
This is the community leadership that makes public health work at scale.
Next Monday, 15 June, is World Dengue Day - we'll be sharing more stories like Carmen's through the week, so keep an eye out.

In our film Releasing Hope, the spectre is a mosquito swarm built from real community testimony. People described dengue as living "in the shadow of something."
What did it make you feel?

The spectre in Releasing Hope came from real testimony. Communities described dengue as a shadow that never lifted.
