Taking on Mosquito-Borne Diseases! FiberCraze × Universiti Malaya: From Malaysia Pilot to Demo Day

■ Field Demonstration Overview (December 2025)

FiberCraze Co., Ltd. and TIDREC at Universiti Malaya conducted a field pilot in Malaysia in December 2025 under the JICA QUEST program.

In this project, we utilized our proprietary material, Craze‑tex®, to conduct laboratory tests and field evaluations of high-performance textile products effective in preventing mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as dengue fever and malaria. We carried out interviews and site visits at locations with frequent outdoor work, such as construction sites and forest conservation areas, and verified their suitability for on-site use.
