Harnessing the power of biology
to eliminate mosquitoes
Our biological solution suppresses a mosquito's ability to breed
resulting in the elimination of nuisance and disease-burden
Learn MoreThe Problem
Mosquito-borne disease results in around 700M cases and 1M deaths per year with a projected $70B spend. The problem is only worsening over time due to climate change, pesticide resistance, and global trade. Existing solutions are expensive and ineffective.
The Solution
Synvect leverages CRISPR gene knockouts to sterilize mosquito eggs which freely develop into non-biting males ready to suppress dangerous mosquito populations. Synvect’s mosquito control solutions are:
Results in huge cost savings associated with production and deployment
100x more scalable than the closest competitor, with clear global supply chain.
Superior suppression efficacy compared to alternative products.
Biological, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and easy-to-deploy without outside aid
How It Works
In-Lab
Genetic cross of CRISPR strains enables the activation of gene knockouts and results in mass production of sterilized mosquito eggs
In-Lab
Eggs packaged with nutrients into a suppression box, and can be stored and shipped globally for usage
In-Wild
When needed, water is added to the suppression box for its deployment
In-Wild
Only sterile non-biting males emerge into the environment due to the induction of gene knockouts during egg development
In-Wild
Since female mosquitoes mate only once, every mating of sterile males with wild females dwindles numbers of wild mosquitoes
