This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"In the battle against mosquito-born disease, scientists are turning to one of the world’s oldest practices for help: matchmaking. Releasing sterile or genetically altered male mosquitoes into the wild to mate with females prevents those mosquitoes from reproducing and going on to spread disease. But understanding more about what females find attractive could help create males they’ll mate with. So what do female mosquitoes look for in a mate? Researchers from the United Kingdom recently revealed that being a good listener matters…at least to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, a species responsible for transmitting diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, and Zika. Many mosquito species mate in midair. As they fly, their beating wings produce unique sound patterns, and a male must match a female’s sound pattern to gain her romantic interest. This is called harmonic convergence. Various factors influence how well the insects can match these mating tunes, but the researchers decided to focus on body size..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Episode 3 of the Swedish Global Health Podcast.
In April 2019, a youth-led panel with representatives from youth and student organizations and global health leaders took place at our house in Stockholm.

Before the panel, we had the opportunity to sit down with Peter Sands (Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria) and Dr Seth Berkley (CEO of Gavi the Vaccine Alliance) to discuss their respective work and personal engagement in global health. It became an interesting dialogue spanning over sustainable development goals, barriers to gain impact to achieve the 2030 agenda, the role of stakeholder engagement and reigniting global solidarity. We hope you enjoy it!
