Professor Hilary Ranson, from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, speaks about her work to control diseases that are spread by mosquitos, like malaria and dengue fever.
Hilary highlights the growing threat posed by mosquitos becoming resistant to the insecticides used to control them, and says that more needs to be done to understand the scale of the problem.
She also suggests ways that different groups within the global development community and the private sector can work together to better control the spread of insect-borne diseases.
