We are MosquiTEC
Science and technology for health.
The company MosquiTEC Controle de Mosquitos LTDA (CNPJ 42.602.728/001-33), was founded in 2021 from more than 10 years of research at UENF, showing that traps impregnated with fungus (a natural enemy of insects) were efficient in killing adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and common mosquito ( Culex ). Our results were published in high-impact international scientific journals. In 2021, MosquiTEC developed Mata Aedes , a trap that uses fungus to kill Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and common mosquito ( Culex ). MosquiTEC produces and sells Mata Aedes traps.
