World Mosquito Day | 20 August

The mosquito may be small, but its impact on public health is significant. At AIRID, research, laboratory facilities, experimental huts, field studies, partnerships, reliable data, effective policies, and community engagement come together to generate scientific evidence and advance better vector control strategies.

Understanding it requires more than observation. It requires research, laboratory facilities, experimental huts, field studies, partnerships, reliable data, effective policies, and community engagement.

At AIRID, these different elements come together to generate scientific evidence and advance better vector control strategies.

From our insectary and laboratories to the field and communities, we are working to better understand mosquitoes and contribute to better protection against vector-borne diseases.

Understanding the mosquito. Advancing science. Protecting communities.

AIRID — Bold Science. African-Led. Impact-Driven.
