<p>Human practices played a pivotal role in our iGEM project, focusing on raising awareness and educating the public about the critical issue of mosquito-borne diseases. Our approach included the creation of engaging and informative materials such as booklets and comics. These resources were meticulously designed to deliver essential information about mosquito-borne diseases in an accessible and visually appealing manner. The booklet served as an informative guide, while the comics transformed complex concepts into engaging narratives, making the content relatable and easy to understand for a broad audience. By conducting surveys to understand public perspectives and concerns, we tailored our outreach efforts to effectively address the needs of communities most vulnerable to mosquito-borne diseases. Through this comprehensive approach, we aimed to not only advance scientific research but also to actively contribute to public health by fostering awareness and education among the general population.</p>
