Proven solutions for targeted pest management and disease reduction.
Conventional pest tools are losing the fight — to resistance, to adaptation, and to the growing scale of pest pressure on public health, food systems and livestock. Biological tools are filling that space.
Friendly™ and Sparks™ are Flyttr’s two biological platforms: targeted, species-specific, and designed to suppress pest populations or block disease transmission at the source — effectively, sustainably, and at scale.
The world’s most effective dengue solutions.
Friendly™
>95%
dengue vector population suppression
Friendly™ Aedes aegypti
Self-limiting males suppress the dengue-spreading Aedes aegypti mosquitoes across successive generations. Launched at national scale in Brazil as Aedes do Bem™, through 20+ distributors serving governments, industry and households. Now preparing to launch in new markets.
>75%
Sparks™ Wolbachia replacement
Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes replace wild populations, blocking dengue replication inside the insect. Proven effective in pilots worldwide, it’s now ready for scale. Leveraging Flyttr’s deployment, monitoring, manufacturing and management systems, launching in Brazil and global markets.
The world’s largest mosquito factory.
Chrysalis — in São Paulo, Brazil — manufactures Friendly™ and Sparks™ mosquitoes, with capacity to protect more than 100 million people across Brazil and global markets.
The Friendly™ portfolio
Friendly™ beyond dengue.
The same self-limiting platform, applied to malaria, crops and livestock — advancing through development with industry and government partners worldwide.
Friendly™ malaria vectors
Focused on two of the world’s most important malaria vectors: Anopheles stephensi, an invasive species spreading across Africa, and Anopheles albimanus, the dominant malaria vector across much of Mesoamerica. These programmes are supported by strong partnerships and – in Djibouti – East Africa’s most advanced mosquito R&D and manufacturing facility.
