Introduction: Longitudinal data and trends about chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are critical for its control, however in Mozambique very few studies were conducted over 5 decades, between 1957 and 2013. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the occurrence, geographical distribution and trend of anti-...

Measles has been a major killer among vaccine-preventable diseases in children < 5 years of age in developing countries. Despite progress in global efforts to reduce mortality, measles remains a public health problem. Hospital-based measles surveillance was conducted in Manhica, Mozambique (July 2001–S...

Measles elimination has been on the World Health Organization agenda for the last fifteen
years. Progress towards elimination has been made. However, it has not been uniform around
the world. On the African continent, the vaccine coverage rate is the lowest in the world and
the disease burden is the high...
