While there is increasing evidence on the safety of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for the case management of malaria in early pregnancy, little is known about the association between exposure to ACT during the first trimester and the effect on fetal growth. Data were analysed from prospecti...

Background: Determination of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) exposure status in infants and young children is required to guarantee timely diagnosis and access to appropriate care. HIV prevalence among Mozambican women aged 15-49 years is 15%, and vertical transmission rate is still high. The stud...

Background: Innovative approaches are needed to limit antimalarial resistance evolution. Understanding the role of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) on the selection for resistance and the impact such selection has on pregnancy outcomes can guide future interventions.

A malária é um problema de saúde pública em Moçambique sendo endémica em todo o país,
variando de zonas de baixa a alta endemicidade. As condições climáticas como a temperatura
e a precipitação e as condições ambientais como locais propícios para a reprodução do vector
contribuem para...
Malaria remains a major public health problem worldwide, despite the
report by the World Health Organization (WHO) referring to a progressive decrease in
the number of malaria cases in the last decade. The main objective of this study is to
assess the level of knowledge, attitudes and practic...

Background: Conceptualizing gender dynamics and ways of bridging entrenched gender roles will contribute to better health promotion, policy and planning. Such processes are explored in relation to malaria in Mozambique. Methods: A multi-method, qualitative study using focus group discussions (FGDs) and i...
Like most malaria-endemic countries, Mozambique relies on tabulation of confirmed malaria test–positive febrile patients to track incidence of malaria. However, this approach is potentially biased by incidental malaria parasitemia in patients with fever of another etiology. We compared pan-Plasmodium a...

The COVID-19 global pandemic reached South Africa (SA), Mozambique and Eswatini in March 2020.[1] Since then an exponential increase in SARS-CoV-2 infections has severely stretched SA’s healthcare system, especially in terms of in-hospital treatment of severe cases. The impact of COVID-19 in Mozambique...

Background: Leading malaria vaccine, RTS,S, is based on the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of sporozoites. RTS,S
confers partial protection against malaria in children, but efficacy wanes relatively quickly after primary
immunization. Vaccine efficacy has some association with anti-CSP IgG; however, it i...
