The In2Care Mosquito Trap is a multi-impact lethal ovitrap for Aedes mosquitoes that can effectively lure, infect and contaminate female mosquitoes via auto-dissemination (self- spreading of larvicide). In light of the Zika outbreak, In2Care is under consideration for an expedited registration process in various countries including Brazil. The approved TTS funding will enable In2Care to expand its human capital capacity to meet the demand generated by the Zika crisis and distribute product quickly where it is needed. GCC funds will also be used in part to prove a statistically significant reduction of the adult biting population. Given that this is a dual market approach, GCC could potentially be repaid within two-to-three years, allowing recycling of funds into future innovators.
