Battle of the Mosquitoes

What if the future of malaria control involves releasing more mosquitoes — not fewer?

In this special feature episode, science journalist Paul Adepoju takes you deep into the high-stakes fight against a new urban malaria threat: Anopheles stephensi. From the labs of British biotech firm Oxitec to the malaria-stricken streets of Djibouti, and with insight from top global health experts like Dr. William Moss of Johns Hopkins, this narrative journey unpacks how genetically modified mosquitoes are being deployed to stop one of humanity’s oldest diseases.

You’ll hear directly from:

Colonel Abdoulilah Ahmed Abdi, leading malaria control efforts in Djibouti
Grey Frandsen, CEO of Oxitec
Neil Morrison, Oxitec’s Chief Strategy Officer
Dr. William Moss, malaria researcher and public health expert

This episode is based on Paul’s feature story for Nature Medicine. For the full deep-dive, read “Battle of the Mosquitoes” on Nature Medicine online.
