World Mosquito Program

The World Mosquito Program (WMP) is a not-for-profit group of companies owned by Monash University that works to protect the global community from mosquito-borne diseases. The program uses naturally occurring bacteria called wolbachia to reduce the ability of mosquitoes to transmit mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever and chikungunya.

As of June 2022, the WMP had projects operating in 12 countries across Oceania, Asia, Europe, and the Americas (offices established in Australia, Vietnam, France and Panama) and our Wolbachia mosquitoes have reached more than 10 million people.
