Gates Foundation Backs GALVmed Anaplasmosis Vaccine Research for Sub-Saharan African Cattle Herds
Anaplasmosis — caused by Anaplasma marginale and transmitted by Rhipicephalus ticks — causes severe anemia and high mortality in cattle across Africa. The Gates Foundation funded GALVmed to advance recombinant subunit vaccine candidates targeting the Msp1a and Msp2 surface proteins of A. marginale, with a focus on developing thermostable formulations suited to Africa's limited cold-chain infrastructure.

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.
