Image3 | The Vector, the Viruses, and the “Healthy World”: Placing Aedes aegypti in Brazil

Banner from the WMP project. On the upper right side, it is written “Eliminar a Dengue – Desafio Brasil” (Eliminate Dengue – Brazil’s Challenge), which is the name WMP used in its early days. On the upper left side, there is a white mosquito with green dots. In the middle, in bold, it is written “Notícia boa vem voando” (Good news arrive flying); then, beneath, in smaller font, “A Fiocruz traz para o seu bairro um aliado eficiente no combate a dengue a dengue, Zika e chikungunya: o Aedes aegypti com Wolbachia” (Fiocruz brings to your neighborhood an efficient ally in combating dengue, dengue, Zika and chikungunya: the Aedes aegypti with Wolbachia). Underneath this text there is a drawing of five adults and one child—in the middle is a white man wearing a white coat. On the bottom right, there is a list of places for more information about the technique.
