Ismail, Muhammad Ahamed; Majaliwa, Nashon D.; Vale, Filipa F.; Cumbana, Roqueia; Sumbana, José J.; Muchongo, Arsénio; Nassone, Ema; Loforte, MichellaBackground Helicobacter pylori strains show a high level of genotypic diversity and express several genes that contribute to their pathogenicity and resistance. In Mozambique, there is lack of information regarding its resistance pattern to antibiotics. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of H. pylori and its genotypic resistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole, and fluoroquinolones in Mozamb...

Esophageal cancer in Mozambique: should mycotoxins be a concern?
Come, Jotamo; Cambaza, Edgar; Ferreira, Rita; da Costa, José Manuel Correia; Carrilho, Carla; Santos, Lúcio LaraFumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin frequently found in agricultural commodities. The toxin poses a considerable risk for human and animal health. FB1 is among several mycotoxins produced by Fusarium spp. contaminating virtually any cereal and other Poaceae. Their intracellular action includes the promotion of oxidative stress through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage biomolecules such a...
60,000 years of interactions between Central and Eastern Africa documented by m...
Silva, Marina; Alshamali, Farida; Silva, Paula; Carrilho, Carla; Mandlate, Flávio; Jesus Trovoada, Maria; Černý, Viktor; Pereira, Luísa; Soares, PedroMitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup L2 originated in Western Africa but is nowadays spread across the entire continent. L2 movements were previously postulated to be related to the Bantu expansion, but L2 expansions eastwards probably occurred much earlier. By reconstructing the phylogeny of L2 (44 new complete sequences) we provide insights on the complex net of within-African migrations in the last 60 thousa...
