Progress towards global targets for antiretroviral therapy (ART) in children has lagged behind that for adults. Mortality among infants who received HIV via vertical transmission and do not receive treatment peaks at 2–3 months of age, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and ART.1 However, i...

Cholera remains a major threat in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where some of the highest case-fatality rates are reported. Knowing in what months and where cholera tends to occur across the continent could aid in improving efforts to eliminate cholera as a public health concern. However, largely due to the ...
Diarrheal diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa. Although
research documents the magnitude and pattern of diarrheal diseases are associated with weather in particular locations, there is limited quantification of this association in sub-Saharan Africa and no studies conducted ...

Background: Mozambique suffers recurrent annual cholera outbreaks especially during the rainy season between October to March. The African Cholera Surveillance Network (Africhol) was implemented in Mozambique in 2011 to generate accurate detailed surveillance data to support appropriate interventions for...
Background: Mozambique was recently ranked fifth in the African continent for the number of cases of malaria. In Chimoio municipality cases of malaria are increasing annually, contrary to the decreasing trend in Africa. As malaria transmission is influenced to a large extent by climatic conditions, model...
After the decrease in clinical malaria incidence observed in Mozambique until 2009, a steady resurgence of cases per year has been reported nationally, reaching alarming levels in 2014. However, little is known about the clinical profile of the cases presented, or the possible epidemiological factors con...

Background: In Sub-Saharan Africa, including Mozambique, acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) represents a main cause of childhood mortality. The burden of ABM is seriously underestimated because of the poor performance of culture sampling, the primary method of ABM surveillance in the region. Low quality ce...

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...

Background: Characterization of severe malaria cases on arrival to hospital may lead to early recognition and improved management. Minimum community based-incidence rates (MCBIRs) complement hospital data, describing the malaria burden in the community. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all admitted m...

O presente trabalho teve como objectivo principal avaliar a contaminação microbiológica dos mangais peri-urbanos de Maputo e suas consequências para a saúde pública. Dois locais diferentes foram definidos, um na Cidade de Maputo (mangal da Costa do Sol) e outro na Ilha de Inhaca (mangal da Ponta Ra...
