Scale Wolbachia.
Eliminate dengue.
Sparks is the end-to-end platform built to help governments take Wolbachia from pilot to national program — in pursuit of protecting one billion people from dengue by 2040.
A growing emergency — and traditional tools are losing ground.
Dengue cases have risen ten-fold in seven years. Aedes aegypti is spreading into new climates, chemical insecticides are failing, and existing programs are reactive, fragmented and expensive.
Mosquitoes carrying natural Wolbachia block dengue — and the effect sustains itself.
Releasing mosquitoes that carry dengue-blocking Wolbachia spreads protection through the local population. The result is a proven, sustained reduction in dengue, demonstrated across multiple countries.
Product, systems and services — built for national-scale Wolbachia.
Sparks will give ministries of health and provincial programs the operating stack to scale Wolbachia without rebuilding it from scratch. We supply, integrate and support across the whole program.

Built to supply the world.
Flyttr (formerly Oxitec) is the world leader in biological vector control — two decades of accumulated science, infrastructure and global operations, brought together under one platform.
The world's largest Wolbachia production facility.
Flyttr's Chrysalis facility anchors the manufacturing behind Sparks — with innovations in form factors, delivery and software readying distribution across Brazil and Southeast Asia. It is the same industrial discipline behind every mosquito deployment program: biology, built to reach millions.
