Escalation of Pyrethroid Resistance in the Malaria Vector Anopheles funestus Induces a Loss of Efficacy of Piperonyl Butoxide–Based Insecticide-Treated Nets in Mozambique

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...

A historic report of zika in mozambique: implications for assessing current risk

Plos negl. trop. dis; 8 (12), 2016
Although Kokernot et al. found neutralizing antibodies against ZIKV in Mozambique in 1957 [20], the country has repeatedly been excluded from the list of countries with a past history of ZIKV. The current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention map, the recent World Health Organization Risk Assessment...

Caracterização molecular das espécies e marcadores de resistência nos mosquitos vectores da malária nas áreas pulverizadas da cidade de Pemba, Província de Cabo Delgado

A malária é uma das mais importantes doenças parasitárias do homem. Em Moçambique, é a causa mais comum de atendimento nas consultas externas, bem como de admissão nas Unidades Sanitárias. Os principais vectores em Moçambique são An.gambiae s.s., An. Arabiensis e An. funestus s.s. As principais...

Vectorial status and insecticide resistance of Anopheles funestus from a sugar estate in southern Mozambique

Parasit. vectors; 4 (16), 2011
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...

Assessing entomological and parasitaemia prevalence to monitor a malaria control programme in zambézia, mozambique

Malaria vector control interventions in Africa are currently being scaled up in order to attain universal access and appropriate coverage. The aim is to reduce or interrupt disease transmission, and to reach long term goals of malaria elimination and eradicatio...

Evaluation of two formulations of adjuvanted RTS, S malaria vaccine in children aged 3 to 5 years living in a malaria-endemic region of Mozambique: a Phase I/IIb randomized double-blind bridging trial

Trials; 8 (11), 2007
Results: Both vaccines were safe and had similar reactogenicity profiles. All subjects with paired pre and post-vaccination samples showed a vaccine response with respect to anti-circumsporozoite (CS) antibodies irrespective of initial anti-CS serostatus. Geometric mean titers (GMTs) were 191 EU/ml (95...

The Microepidemiology of malaria in Matola, a Periurban Area of Maputo, Mozambique

Using a geographic information system (GIS), the microepidemiology of malaria was studied in an area of 8 square km in Matola, a densely populated periurban are of Maputo, southern Mozambique. Integrating data on the geographic location of the main mosquito breeding sites, the location and characteristic...
