Mozambique
Summary of Past and Present NIAID-Funded Research
NIAID supports three projects in Mozambique, all linked to the country's high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. However, Mozambique’s health priorities are more complex. Mozambique suffers from high infant mortality, an expanding HIV/AIDS epidemic, malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) as the primary cause of mortality among children under 5 years of age, and recent severe outbreaks of cholera. Extensive malnutrition among children and an increasing burden of tuberculosis (TB), according to the World Health Organization (WHO), are also of concern.
