日本血吸虫病,由日本血吸虫引起,是一种地方病,人畜共患寄生虫病。家畜,尤其是牛,被认为在疾病的传播中起着重要作用。历史上,中国是受日本血吸虫病影响最严重的国家,但是现在患病率和发病率已经大大降低。自1950年代中期中国启动国家血吸虫病控制计划以来,家畜血吸虫病的控制几乎与人类血吸虫病同步进行,这个概念已经被证明是有效的。一般来说,在过去的六十年中,中国的日本血吸虫病防治运动经历了四个阶段,即,大规模流行病学调查阶段,病例筛查和小规模化疗阶段,大规模化疗阶段,和感染源控制阶段。这些不同的阶段对不断变化的疾病流行病学有反应,社会经济发展,和技术进步,成功实现疾病控制目标。
Schistosomiasis japonica, caused by Schistosoma japonicum, is an endemic, zoonotic parasitic disease. Domestic animals, particularly bovines, are thought to play an important role in transmission of the disease. Historically,
China was the country mostly severely impacted by schistosomiasis japonica, but now prevalence and morbidity have been greatly reduced. Since the mid-1950s when
China launched the National Schistosomiasis Control Program, the control of schistosomiasis in domestic animals has been carried out almost synchronously with that of human schistosomiasis, and this concept has been proven to be effective. Generally, the campaign of schistosomiasis japonica control in domestic animals in
China went through four phases over the past six decades, namely, the large-scale epidemiological investigation phase, the case screening and small-scale chemotherapy phase, the mass chemotherapy phase, and the infection source control phase. These distinct phases were responsive to changing disease epidemiology, socioeconomic development, and technological advances, resulting in successful attainment of disease control goals.
