  • Travel Patterns and Demographic Characteristics of Malaria Cases In
    Tejedor‐Garavito et al. Malar J (2017) 16:359 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-2004-8 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Travel patterns and demographic characteristics of malaria cases in Swaziland, 2010–2014 Natalia Tejedor‐Garavito1*† , Nomcebo Dlamini2†, Deepa Pindolia4, Adam Soble4, Nick W. Ruktanonchai1,3, Victor Alegana1,3, Arnaud Le Menach4, Nyasatu Ntshalintshali4, Bongani Dlamini4, David L. Smith5, Andrew J. Tatem1,3 and Simon Kunene2 Abstract Background: As Swaziland progresses towards national malaria elimination, the importation of parasites into recep- tive areas becomes increasingly important. Imported infections have the potential to instigate local transmission and sustain local parasite reservoirs. Methods: Travel histories from Swaziland’s routine surveillance data from January 2010 to June 2014 were extracted and analysed. The travel patterns and demographics of rapid diagnostic test (RDT)-confrmed positive cases identi- fed through passive and reactive case detection (RACD) were analysed and compared to those found to be negative through RACD. Results: Of 1517 confrmed cases identifed through passive surveillance, 67% reported travel history. A large propor- tion of positive cases reported domestic or international travel history (65%) compared to negative cases (10%). The primary risk factor for malaria infection in Swaziland was shown to be travel, more specifcally international travel to Mozambique by 25- to 44-year old males, who spent on average 28 nights away. Maputo City, Inhambane and Gaza districts were the most likely travel destinations in Mozambique, and 96% of RDT-positive international travellers were either Swazi (52%) or Mozambican (44%) nationals, with Swazis being more likely to test negative. All international travellers were unlikely to have a bed net at home or use protection of any type while travelling.

  • Swaziland Country Information
    SWAZILAND COUNTRY INFORMATION In preparation for your Swaziland Sojourn please find below some interesting facts about Swaziland. For further information you can visit the official Swaziland Tourism Authority’s website: www.kingdomofeswatini.com www.africansojourns.com 1 The country: Swaziland, officially the Kingdom of Swaziland (Swazi: Umbuso weSwatini) and now called Eswatini is a landlocked country in southern Africa, bordered to the north, south and west by South Africa, and to the east by Mozambique. The nation, as well as its people, are named after the 19th-century king Mswati II. Swaziland is a small country, no more than 200 kilometers (120 mi) north to south and 130 kilometers (81 mi) east to west. The western half is mountainous, descending to a Lowveld region to the east. The eastern border with Mozambique and South Africa is dominated by the escarpment of the Lebombo Mountains. In 1899, as a result of the Anglo-Boer war, Britain transformed this small country into a protectorate under its direct control. Subsequently, throughout the colonial period, Swaziland was governed by a resident administrator, one that ruled according to legal orders issued by the British High Commissioner for South Africa. Swaziland gained its independence in 1968 Currency The lilangeni (plural: emalangeni, code: SZL) is the currency of Swaziland and is subdivided into 100 cents. The South African Rand is also accepted in Swaziland but Emalangeni is not accepted in South Africa. Visa and Mastercards are accepted at most hotels but the new pin/chip cards do not always work.Cash is the preferred method of payment.
