demand high costs of medical assistance and hospitalization 7,15 . Swine presents similar symptoms as humans,varying in severity, resulting in significant losses in the commercial and familiar sectors 31 .
CONCLUSION Mozambique has data on RVA from surveillance and studies. Methods such as ELISA and RT-PCR provide highlyreliable results, but they might be costly for routine analyzes. It would be valuable to promote more basicepidemiological and social research on RVA and build a more robust body of knowledge.RVA affects Mozambique's infant health, particularly in children less than one-year-old. The prevalence hasdeclined since the introduction of the vaccine.The predominant genotypes change over time, and the most recent data point to the G1P[8] as the mostcommon. The current epidemiological information might not reflect the country's current situation because mostdata came from Maputo City and province, Sofala, Zambézia, and Nampula provinces. There shall also be surveysin the community, rather than data only from people seeking medical care.RVA also occurs in swine in Mozambique, but the virus is likely to occur in other carriers. It is essential to developstudies providing a broad view of RVA reservoirs as part of the strategy to control its dissemination.
