Abstract:

China has made remarkable achievements in the prevention and control of human parasitic diseases,becoming the first country in the elimination of lymphatic filariasis. Malaria has been eliminated in China,which is approved by World Health Organization in 2021. Schistosomiasis in many provinces reaches the standard of transmission interruption or elimination. The infection rate of soil-transmitted nematode drops to a new historical low. However,the population of its infection is still tens of millions. Foodborne parasitic diseases,such as clonorchiasis sinensis,still pose a great threat to food safety in China. Although the vector-borne and zoonotic parasitic diseases have been controlled to some extent,the epidemic continues and relapses. The incidence of opportunistic parasitic diseases has increased in the population with immunodeficiency,and the cases of imported parasitic diseases have also increased. The review focuses on the results of parasitic diseases' prevention and control in China,understanding the epidemic status of important human parasitic diseases,analyzing the transmission risks and challenges of human parasitic diseases' prevention and control,so as to provide a reference for the health administrative department formulating the strategies and measures of parasitic diseases' prevention and control in the new period,and to provide epidemiological datum reference for the diagnosis and treatment of clinical parasitic diseases.
