Understanding community members’ knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and prevention is essential for directing public health interventions to reduce disease spread and improve vaccination coverage. Here, we describe knowledge of COVID-19 transmission, prevention, and symptoms among community residents...
Background: Malaria is endemic throughout Mozambique, contributing significantly to the country's burden of disease. Prompt and effective treatment for fevers in children can limit the mortality and morbidity impacts of the disease but many children in the country are not taken for formal care when ill. ...
Background: Although diagnosis and treatment of diarrhoea are considered easy, statistics show that 525,000 children worldwide die annually due to diarrhoea, 90% of the deaths are in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, and Mozambique account for 6.9%.

Altered mental status (AMS) is a priority presenting sign that must be assessed in HIV-infected, febrile children, yet diagnosis is difficult in areas with limited diagnostic capacity. Malaria and bacterial meningitis have been reported as the most common causes of AMS in febrile children presenting to t...
: In 2016, a free healthcare policy (FHP) was implemented in Burkina Faso for
children under the age of five. In our study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of careseeking for a fever in children under the age of five before and after the implementation of
the FHP and to analyze the determinants of n...
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...
Instituto Nacional de Saúde (INS) em colaboração com o Programa Nacional de Controlo da Malária (PNCM) e o Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE), realizou o Inquérito Nacional de Indicadores de Malária (IIM 2018).

Background. Afebrile Plasmodium falciparum infections usually remain undetected and untreated in the community and could potentially contribute to sustaining local malaria transmission in areas aiming for malaria elimination. Methods. Thirty-two men with afebrile P. falciparum infections detected with ra...
As áreas rurais e urbanas garantem condições adequadas para a criação, estabilização e
transmissão constante de várias doenças transmitidas por insectos em todas as regiões tropicais
e subtropicais do mundo, com ênfase especial naquelas doenças transmitidas por mosquitos.
