Giardia duodenalis and chronic malnutrition in children under five from a rural area of Guinea-Bissau

A case-control study that included 109 children aged 0 to 59 months of a rural community in Guinea-Bissau was conducted. The anthropometric assessment of children in the study identified 31 cases of chronic malnutrition (z-score height for age < -2) and 78 controls (z-score height for age ≥ -2). Microscopic examination of stools was performed for detection and identification of G. duodenalis and other parasites.

Intestinal parasites, both helminths and protozoa, are commonly found in domestic animals, and the possible transmission of enteric parasites from dogs and cats to humans may constitute a global potential health risk worldwide.

Angola’s 2013 dengue outbreak: clinical, laboratory and molecular analyses of cases from four Portuguese institutions

  • Autores: Abreu C, Antunes A, Atouguia J, Azevedo T, Centeno-Lima S, Conceição C, Mansinho K, Marques N, Moneti V, Nazareth T, Nina J, Parreira R, Sa L, Saraiva da Cunha J, Sarmento A, Seixas J, Teodósio R

Dengue virus (DENV) is the arbovirus with the widest impact on human health. In Africa in general, and in Angola in particular, the epidemiology and public health impact of DENV is far from clear. However, rapid population growth, unplanned urbanization, increased international travel, and the presence of virus major vector (Aedes aegypti) in the country suggest that DENV transmission may occur.
