[Approaches used for assessment of the burden of advanced schistosomiasis japonica: a comparative study].

June 2019
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare different methods for assessing disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in patients with advanced schistosomiasis japonica to provide better scientific evidence for its burden.
- In 2017, patients in Hunan Province were evaluated using three different methods: the common global burden of disease (GBD) estimation, a modified GBD method, and a quality of life assessment.
- Results showed that the YLDs (years lived with disability) estimates from the modified GBD method and the quality of life method were significantly higher than those from the common GBD method, indicating the latter may underrepresent the condition's burden.
[Global burden and challenges of parasitic diseases in Africa].
Zhongguo Xue Xi Chong Bing Fang Zhi Za Zhi
April 2018
Parasitic diseases are common infectious diseases closely related to poverty, which are mainly endemic in the tropical and subtropical regions. Africa is the major epidemic area of parasitic diseases, and the global burden of malaria and schistosomiasis is over 85% in Africa. This paper reviews the disease burden, regional distribution and control strategies of the main parasitic diseases in Africa, in order to promote the prevention and control of parasitic diseases in this area.

China's prevention and control of parasitic diseases has made remarkable achievements. However, the prevalence and transmission of parasitic diseases is impacted by the complicated natural and social factors of environment, natural disasters, population movements, and so on. Therefore, there are still the risks of the outbreak of emergency parasitic diseases affairs, which may affect the control effectiveness of parasitic diseases and endanger the social stability seriously.

October 2016
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze the growth of schistosomes in goats and the resulting egg excretion to help manage the spread of schistosomiasis.
- Adult worms were recovered from infected goats, with about one-third of cercariae developing into adults over 14 months, while egg excretion maintained a consistent pattern without significant decline.
- The findings highlight that infected goats can continuously contribute to schistosomiasis transmission, showing no signs of self-cure, emphasizing their role as a significant infection source.
[Surveillance and risk assessment system of schistosomiasis in Jiangsu Province Ⅲ Risk of schistosomiasis transmission in the area along the Yangtze River in Yangzhou City].
Zhongguo Xue Xi Chong Bing Fang Zhi Za Zhi
August 2016
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the risk of schistosomiasis transmission along the Yangtze River in Yangzhou City to help establish a surveillance system in marshland regions.
- Key findings indicated that extensive examinations of water regions, local fishermen, domestic animals, and wild mice showed no schistosome infections, highlighting a low transmission risk in the area.
- Despite low infection rates, the presence of contaminated feces from pastured cattle and sheep poses a significant threat to controlling schistosomiasis.
