Malaria prevention with long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) has seen a tremendous scale-up in sub-Saharan Africa in the last decade. To sustain this success, it is important to understand how long LLINs remain in the households and continue to protect net users, which is termed durability. This inform...

Insecticide resistance poses a serious threat to insecticide-based interventions in Africa. There is a fear that resistance escalation could jeopardize malaria control efforts. Monitoring of cases of aggravation of resistance intensity and its impact on the efficacy of control tools is crucial to predict...
Background: Malaria control remains a leading health challenge in Mozambique. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is an effective strategy to control malaria transmission, but there are often barriers to reaching the coverage necessary for attaining maximum community protective effect of IRS. Mozambique recor...

Em 2013 o Ministério da Saúde distribuiu redes mosquiteiras impregnadas com
insecticida de longa duração (REMTLD) em seis distritos da provincia de Nampula,
incluindo Mecubúri e Nacala-a-Velha.
Objectivos: Determinar a posse, acesso e uso das redes mosquiteiras e calcular as taxas de ...
Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and/or indoor residual spraying, associated with case management, are key interventions in the control of malaria in Africa. The objective of this study is to comment on the role of social and behavior change communication as a potential ...

Objective: Universal coverage with insecticide-treated bed nets is a cornerstone of modern malaria control. Mozambique has developed a novel bed net allocation strategy, where the number of bed nets allocated per household is calculated on the basis of household composition and assumptions about who slee...

Background: Chemical insecticides are crucial to malaria control and elimination programmes. The frontline vector control interventions depend mainly on pyrethroids; all long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and more than 80% of indoor residual spraying (IRS) campaigns use chemicals from this class. Thi...

In Mozambique, malaria is still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality,
accounting for about 44,0% of cases seen in outpatients and 57,0% of admissions in pediatric
wards. The mass distribution of mosquito nets treated with long lasting insecticide
(REMILD) is one of the preve...
