​From September to October, our 2nd year master student Micanaldo has visited Mozambique to coordinate initial actions toward our malaria research in Mozambique. In following, a total of five mud block (adobe) and straw houses were constructed at Lúrio University Campus in Nampula City, to serve as model village for entomological and housing studies. The accomplishment of house construction and preliminary mosquito survey is an important step for the foundation of our future research activities in Africa.
