Schistosomiasis Control, the latest edition in the Advances in Parasitology series first published in 1963, contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews on all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology.

The series includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which help to shape current thinking and applications. The 2014 impact factor is 6.226, with a thematic issue focus on Schistosomiasis Control.

Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field of parasitology Includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes Contains contributions from leading authorities and industry experts

National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, China: 70 Years and Beyond, Volume 110 covers the major achievements gained in the research and control of parasitic diseases in China, e.g. schistosomiasis, malaria, lymphatic filariasis, echinococcosis, visceral leishmaniasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis, foodborne clonorchiasis, angiostrongyliasis, taeniasis and cysticercosis, etc. The book introduces approaches that can be developed with big data analytic tools, how to use surveillance-response systems at national and regional levels, and tactics to promote the national parasitic resources center to support various research and control activities. Finally, a chapter on the roadmap for parasitic diseases control in China from 2020 to 2030 is presented.

Informs and updates on the controlled progress of parasitic diseases in China, with a focus on strategies, combating measures, surveillance-response systems, and multi-sectoral cooperation Introduces advances in research achievements in the development of diagnostics, drugs, insecticides and surveillance tools Features reviews of more traditional parasitic diseases that help to shape current thinking and applications of modern tools in research and control of diseases

This book introduces the changing patterns of schistosomiasis transmission in China at different stages. Arduous efforts have been made in the last 7 decades to control and eliminate schistosomiasis in China using various control strategies, such as snail control to reduce the intensity of the disease transmission, morbidity control to reduce disease prevalence, and integrated control strategies to block the disease transmission, supported by governments at different levels.This book also presents the scientific progresses which technically support the control and surveillance of schistosomiasis in the field. It summarizes the working mechanism and control strategies of multi-sectoral collaboration to promote the national control programme leading to schistosomiasis elimination eventually.

This book intends to share the lessons and experiences learnt from the Chinese parasitic diseases control programme to the professionals, policy makers and researchers from other disease endemic countries. Especially, those lessons on surveillance and response have been well distilled at national level in China, where some of parasitic diseases have been and going to be eliminated, e.g. lymphatic filariasis, malaria, schistosomiasis. The book covers the concept and technologies on surveillance and response to endemic and outbreaks of parasitic diseases, as well as relevant case management and data handling. The book includes three main parts. The first part consists of general chapters, which covers the general information on parasitic disease surveillance, the classification and application of surveillance technologies, etc. The second part of chapters cover surveillance technologies on parasites distribution, infections patterns in a region, related vectors, ecological environment elements, and the early warning and response, etc. In the third part of chapters, the concepts, methods, operating procedures, data collection, result analysis, reports and conclusions of various surveillance technologies in detail, along with the examples and guidelines of surveillance and management for parasitic infections are included.The book is likely to be of interest to the world-wide professionals, practitioners, managers and policy makers in governments or industry in the field of infectious diseases control.

This Open Access book intends to report the new results of the Global One Health Index (GOHI). The content of this book underlines the functions and importance of developing the evaluation tool (GOHI) for global One Health practice, shows the results of GOHI score in 160 countries/territories and key findings in details, and provides different policy recommendations to UN agencies, countries, and communities to promote the wide application of the One Health approach. A pilot study was conducted in 2021, and its related publications are collected in one section of the book. The book is likely to be of interest to researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, and stakeholders in applying One Health who wish to learn about the development, results, key findings, and policy recommendations of GOHI study.
