In just 20 years, the Asian tiger mosquito has sped up its spread across France, advancing north at 20 km per year. That’s triple the rate in 2006, driven by rising temperatures.

Sudan virus kills up to 100% of those it infects. Outbreaks of the disease move fast. Luckily, during Uganda’s 2025 Sudan virus outbreak, the response moved faster.

Conflict, climate change and a new virus clade have made mpox harder to track and harder to stop. But vaccines can help. By mid-2026, a global stockpile of vaccines will ensure faster delivery and more equitable access:

Mpox still poses a major risk, but rapid delivery of vaccines could help halt outbreaks before they spread.

Vaccines have saved > 150 million lives over the past 50 years. Yet misinformation about them can still spread like a virus. A new game lets you step into the “good” or “evil” side of health manipulation -- and either way, you learn to spot misleading info.

Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral disease that causes intense fever and incapacitating joint pain. China is currently battling its largest-ever outbreak, and global travel is driving the disease’s spread to other regions:

It’s one year since mpox was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Today, 21 African countries are still facing mpox outbreaks, yet the global response remains underpowered. But a new vaccine stockpile could transform the response to future

Climate change is expanding mosquito habitats and bringing diseases like malaria to new areas. Next-gen meds, vaccines & smart vector control are essential to keeping malaria in check. #WorldMosquitoDay @medsformalaria @invectorcontrol
