Caracterização molecular das espécies e marcadores de resistência nos mosquitos vectores da malária nas áreas pulverizadas da cidade de pemba, província de cabo delgado -moçambique

Caracterização molecular das espécies e marcadores de resistência nos mosquitos vectores da malária nas áreas pulverizadas da cidade de pemba, província de cabo delgado – moçambique A malária é uma das mais importantes doenças parasitárias do homem. Em Moçambique, é a causa mais comum de ...

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...

A Research Agenda for Malaria Eradication: Modeling

PloS med; 8 (1), 2011
Malaria modeling can inform policy and guide research for malaria elimination and eradication from local implementation to global policy. A research and development agenda for malaria modeling is proposed, to support operations and to enhance the broader eradication research agenda. Models are envisioned...

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...

Monitoring the operational impact of insecticide usage for malaria control on Anopheles funestus from Mozambique

Malar. j. (Online); 6 (142), 2007
Background: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) has again become popular for malaria control in Africa. This combined with the affirmation by WHO that DDT is appropriate for use in the absence of longer lasting insecticide formulations in some malaria endemic settings, has resulted in an increase in IRS with ...

Entomological characteristics of malaria transmission in Manhiça, a rural area in southern Mozambique

J. med. entomol; 42 (2), 2005
From October 1997 to September 1998, an entomological survey was carried out in Manhiça, Mozambique, to describe the anopheline population and intensity of malaria transmission. Ten different huts were randomly selected for entomological surveillance throughout the year. CDC light trap collections were ...

Bio-efficacy of new long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets against Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae from central and northern Mozambique

Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) are one of the main methods used for controlling malaria transmission in Mozambique. The proliferation of several types of LLINs and the re-emergence of insecticide resistance in the local vector populations poses challenges to the local malaria control prog...

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 area of Maputo southern Mozambique. Integrating data on the geographic location and characteristics of the houses in the study area, and malariometri...

The impact of malaria on health of primary school children in mozambique

Malaria is one of the most important diseases among children in tropical Africa. Although the highest morbidity rate is observed in young children, older children attending primary still have level of parasite rats. It seems malaria may have some effects on school outcome measures, Such as increasing day...
