Rotavirus A infection in children under five years old with a double health problem: undernutrition and diarrhoea – a cross-sectional study in four provinces of Mozambique

  • Authors: Chissaque A, Cassocera M, Gasparinho C, et al., Gonçalves L, de Deus N
  • Publication Year: 2021
  • Journal: BMC Infect Dis 21 18
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-020-05718-9

Background Mozambique has a high burden of group A rotavirus (RVA) infection and chronic undernutrition. This study aimed to determine the frequency and potential risk factors for RVA infection in undernourished children under 5 years old with diarrhoea in Mozambique. Methods The analysis was conducted using data from March 2015 to December 2017, regarding children […]

Intestinal protozoa in hospitalized under-five children with diarrhoea in Nampula – a cross-sectional analysis in a low-income setting in northern Mozambique

  • Authors: Bauhofer AFL, Cossa-Moiane ILC, Marques SDA, et al., Gonçalves L, de Deus N
  • Publication Year: 2021
  • Journal: BMC Infect Dis 21 201
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-021-05881-7

Background In Mozambique, infection by intestinal parasites is reported all over the country. However, infection in children with diarrhoea is mostly focused in the southern region of Mozambique. This work aims to determine the frequency and potential risk factors for infection by Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia lamblia, and Entamoeba histolytica in children under-five years hospitalized with diarrhoea in Hospital Central de Nampula, northern […]

Whole-genome characterization of G12 rotavirus strains detected in Mozambique reveals a co-infection with a GXP[14] strain of possible animal origin.

  • Authors: Strydom A, Motanyane L, Nyaga MM, João ED, Cuamba A, Mandomando I, Cassocera M, de Deus N
  • Publication Year: 2019
  • Journal: Journal of General Virology
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31140967

A high prevalence of G12 rotavirus strains has previously been reported in southern Mozambique. In this study, the full genomes of five Mozambican G12 strains were determined directly from stool using an Illumina Miseq platform. One sample (0060) contained an intergenogroup co-infection of a G12P[8] Wa-like strain and a GXP[14] DS-1-like strain. The sequences of […]

Whole genome analyses of DS-1-like Rotavirus A strains detected in children with acute diarrhoea in southern Mozambique suggest several reassortment events

  • Authors: Strydom A, João ED, Motanyane L, Nyaga MM, Christiaan Potgieter A, Cuamba A, Mandomando I, Cassocera M, de Deus N, O'Neill HG
  • Publication Year: 2019
  • Journal: Infection Genetics and Evolution
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30641151

We report the first whole genome constellations of Mozambican rotavirus A strains detected between 2012 and 2013 in the Mavalane General Hospital in Maputo city and Manhiça District Hospital in the Manhiça district. Consensus sequences for ten DS-1-like strains (G2P[4] and G8P[4]) were identified with an Illumina Miseq platform using cDNA prepared from dsRNA extracted […]

Epidemiology of rotavirus infection in children from a rural and urban area, in Maputo, Southern Mozambique, before vaccine introduction

  • Authors: de Deus N, João E, Cuamba A, Cassocera M, Luís L, Acácio S, Mandomando I, Augusto O, Page N
  • Publication Year: 2018
  • Journal: Journal of Tropical Pediatrics
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28582541

This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of rotavirus infections in Mozambique before vaccine introduction. Between February 2012 and September 2013, stool specimens, demographic and clinical data were collected from 384 children <5 years old hospitalized with acute diarrhea in Mavalane General Hospital and Manhiça District Hospital, southern Mozambique. The samples were tested for rotavirus A […]
