As rotavirus-associated disease declines, it is important to identify other diarrhoea associated pathogens, although post-vaccine data remain limited in Mozambique. This study aimed to estimate the incidence and determine the aetiology of Moderate-to-Severe Diarrhoea (MSD) and Less Severe Diarrhoea (LSD) among children under five, post-rotavirus vaccine introduction in Manhi\u00e7a District, a rural setting in Mozambique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We estimated the incidence of diarrhoea using data from the morbidity surveillance and pathogen-attributable fractions based on analysis of stool specimens collected in a case\u2013control study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The overall incidence of MSD was 5.6 cases per 1,000 child-years at risk (CYAR), with the highest rate observed among infants aged 0\u201311\u00a0months (15.5 per 1,000 CYAR) with a declining trend over time.
