Forrest Innovations Caesarea

Prevention of Mosquito-borne Diseases

Forrest Innovations is implementing its Natural Vector Control (NVC) solution to control mosquitoes.

Harnessing a naturally occurring mechanism (RNAi), the company produces sterile non-GM male mosquitoes and releases them en masse from airplanes to compete with the wild population.

Forrest's operational process combines Modular Mobile Mosquito Units for mass production of NVCs and massive aerial release capabilities for efficient mosquito control.The company completed a project in Brazil and successfully suppressed the disease-transmitting mosquito population, preventing an outbreak of dengue fever in the treated neighborhoods.

Untreated regions experienced rampant dengue.
