We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Marco Aurélio Krieger of @oficialfiocruz.bsky.social, a true champion of science, public health, & innovation. It was an honour to work alongside him through the Dengue Alliance and our long-standing collaboration with Fiocruz. 👉 bit.ly/4jYT4Qc

Increasing transmission of dengue due to climate change doesnt affect only tropical areas, turning it a global threat due to human mobility and receptivity to Aedes mosquitoes as shows data from UK. At @dndi.org we are committed to develop effective treatments against the suffering caused by dengue
