Gates Foundation Supports Acaricide Resistance Monitoring Network Across Kenya and Tanzania
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
The Gates Foundation funded ILRI to establish a network in Kenya and Tanzania monitoring acaricide resistance in Rhipicephalus tick populations. Widespread resistance to organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids was undermining conventional cattle-dipping programs, threatening to leave millions of smallholder farmers without affordable tick control. The network enabled local veterinary authorities to implement chemical rotation protocols before resistance became unmanageable.

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.
