The World Health Organization recommends universal and quality-controlled screening of blood donations for the major transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs): human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and syphilis. The study objectives were to determine the s...
Background: The dual problems of rising insecticide resistance in the malaria vectors and increasing human malaria cases since 2001 in southern Mozambique are cause for serious concern. The selection of insecticides for use in indoor residual spraying (IRS) programmes is highly dependent on the extent to...

The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of Hepatitis E virus (HEV) in the Danish pig population. Faecal samples from 97 pigs, 1–5 months of age were analysed for HEV RNA by a new PriProET real time RT-PCR assay. In addition, serum samples from 71 sow herds were screened for the presen...

Pregnant women are susceptible to Plasmodium falciparum parasites that sequester in the placenta. The massive accumulation of infected erythrocytes in the placenta has been suggested to trigger the deleterious effects of malaria in pregnant women and their offspring. The risk of malaria is also high duri...
Malaria in pregnancy is a public health problem for endemic countries. Economic evaluations of malaria preventive strategies in pregnancy are needed to guide health policies. Methods and Findings: This analysis was carried out in the context of a trial of malaria intermittent preventive treatment in preg...

A implementação de sistemas de produção intensivos, programas de prevenção mais abrangentes e medidas reforçadas de biossegurança contribuíram para a erradicação de muitas doenças pecuárias convencionais, como a peste suína clássica (PSC) e a febre aftosa (FA), em muitas regiões do mundo....
Background: The objective was to study if an association exists between the incidence of malaria and some weather parameters in tropical Maputo province, Mozambique.
Methods: A Bayesian hierarchical model to malaria count data aggregated at district level over a two years period is formulated. This mode...
