Objective: To estimate the community incidence-rates of respiratory infections among infants in Manhiça, southern Mozambique, and to determine risk factors associated with these infections.
Methods: A cohort of children <1 year of age were visited at home every week until they turned one. During the vis...
Malaria occurs mostly in the tropical regions of the world. Sub-Saharan Africa is the area most affected. The occurrence of a very efficient mosquito vectors Anopheles gambiae complex and Anopheles funestus group sustain high transmission of the Plasmodium falciparum, the most predominant and deadly mala...

A malária é um dos principais problemas de saúde em Moçambique representando cerca
de 48% do total das consultas externas e 63% de todos os internamentos em pediatria nos
hospitais rurais e gerais e cerca de 26,7% da mortalidade total do País.
O Plasmodium falciparum é o responsável por cerca de 9...
We compared the distribution patterns of individual Plasmodium species and mixed-species infections in two geographically close endemic areas, but showing environmental differences. Comparisons concerned circulating Plasmodium infections in both human and mosquito vector populations in the dry and wet se...

Background: Development of an effective malaria vaccine could greatly contribute to disease control. RTS,S/AS02A is a pre-erythrocytic vaccine candidate based on Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite surface antigen. We aimed to assess vaccine efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety in young African childr...
O desenvolvimento epidemiológico de qualquer actividade, serviço ou programa pressupõe a existência de mecanismos que permitam avaliar o seu funcionamento, bom como medir o seu grau de implementação. Mais importante ainda é a medição da eficácia de todo o processo.

Background: Falciparum malaria affects pregnant women, especially primigravidae, but before malaria control programmes targeted to them can be designed, a description of the frequency and parity pattern of the infection is needed. There is little information on the frequency and effect of submicroscopic ...
Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) are one of the main methods used for controlling malaria
transmission in Mozambique. The proliferation of several types of LLINs and the re-emergence of insecticide resistance in the local vector populations poses challenges to the local malaria control prog...
