Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as an important health problem worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence, geographical distribution and trend of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against ZIKV between 2009 and 2015 in Mozambique.
The median age of participants was 3 years [interquartile range (IQR): 1.0-6.0 years)] and 56.5% (480/850) of them were male. Of the 850 samples, 42 (4.9%) were positive for IgM antibodies against ZIKV. Positive samples were found in 9 provinces of the country. Frequency of IgM antibodies against ZIKV was slightly higher in patients aged 5-9 years old, and in the north region of the country.
寨卡病毒（ZIKV）已成为全球重要的健康问题。本研究旨在调查2009年至2015年莫桑比克针对ZIKV的免疫球蛋白M（IgM）抗体的发生情况、地理分布和趋势。
参与者的中位年龄为3岁[四分位间距（IQR）：1.0 - 6.0岁]，其中56.5%（480/850）为男性。在850份样本中，42份（4.9%）针对ZIKV的IgM抗体呈阳性。在该国9个省份发现了阳性样本。5至9岁患者以及该国北部地区针对ZIKV的IgM抗体频率略高。
