Gates Foundation Grants $30 Million to Imperial College to Establish Schistosomiasis Control Initiative
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
The Gates Foundation awarded $30 million to Imperial College London to establish the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), the first large-scale programme to deliver praziquantel mass drug administration across six African countries — Uganda, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Zambia. Led by Professor Alan Fenwick, SCI partnered with WHO and Harvard School of Public Health to design evidence-based treatment protocols targeting the 200 million people infected with schistosomiasis globally. SCI's model became the template for integrated NTD programmes worldwide.

Gates-backed World Mosquito Program reaches 16 million people protected from dengue via Wolbachia method
The World Mosquito Program — backed in part by the Gates Foundation — announced in January 2026 that its Wolbachia-infected mosquito releases had reached over 16.1 million people across multiple countries, including Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — which block dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever transmission — had established self-sustaining populations in treated cities without requiring ongoing releases. Gold-standard randomised trials in Indonesia showed a 77% reduction in dengue incidence. The program represented one of the largest and most cost-effective vector control deployments in history.
