Warmer and wetter climate, urbanisation and an increasingly connected world, are good news for mosquitoes and the viruses they carry – dengue, Zika, chikungunya and others. Unfortunately, this is bad news for us humans. To tackle such public health threats, we need to take collective action against mosquito breeding. 

Watch how individual and community actions, vector control programmes, as well as research and innovation, work hand in hand to mitigate these challenges. Produced to commemorate the launch of the World Health Organization’s Global Arbovirus Initiative on 31 Mar 2022, this video shows how Singapore contributes to the international fight against mosquito-borne diseases.
