Expansion coincides with Co-Dx webinar for prospective mosquito abatement district customers in honor of National Mosquito Control Awareness Week
"Our Vector Smart division continues to gain traction, and we believe the pace of new customer additions this month reflects both the strength of our technology and a growing urgency around vector-borne disease surveillance," said Dwight Egan, CEO of Co-Diagnostics. "Co-Diagnostics is a leader in the space to provide PCR tests to mosquito abatement districts for in-house PCR testing, decentralizing mosquito pool testing to allow for more informed operational decisions in communities where MADs operate."
According to the World Health Organization, vector-borne diseases carried by mosquitos cause more than 700,000 deaths annually. In June 2026,
Mr. Egan continued, "Co-Diagnostics believes that decentralizing PCR testing to the point of need enables faster, data-driven vector surveillance and better coordination between public health agencies. Because disease-carrying mosquitoes move across jurisdictional boundaries, timely collection and sharing of surveillance data can be critical to protecting communities. We are committed to remaining at the forefront of innovation for decentralized PCR, for vector control applications as well as infectious disease testing worldwide."
