Scientific publications

From the scientific collaboration with the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the Topical Collection (TC) “Environment, biodiversity and health in university scientific cooperation in Mozambique” was set.
TC is collecting scientific production on the topics of biodiversity conservation, the sustainable use of natural resources, molecular diagnostics and epidemiology of infectious diseases and anthropogenic impact on the environment within the One health One medicine approach.
To date, the TC has collected 12 scientific articles, 8 of which originated from research projects by researchers belonging to the CB and the MHN and another 4 are in the process of being submitted to the journal.
