In 2022, the campaign focused on explaining mosquito anatomy, characteristics, feeding patterns, reproductive behaviours. In 2023, the campaign focused on explaining how genetically modified mosquitoes are developed.   In 2024, the #MosquitoCountdown campaign was launched , an educational campaign across social media.
