Excellent- More about Sino-African Cooperation for Schistosomiasis Control in Zanzibar: A Blueprint for Combating other Parasitic Diseases
Chinese scientists and local physicians collaborated to control schistosomiasis in Zanzibar, teaching medical specialists and the population how to diagnose and eliminate the disease, establishing a control system to prevent repeated increases in human cases. This book is a blueprint for combating schistosomiasis in countries with low medical impact, particularly affecting rural populations and poor communities with limited access to clean drinking water and sanitation.

Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG
Offering a remarkable example of transnational cooperation and successful reduction of a neglected tropical disease, this comprehensive volume showcases how Chinese scientists and local physicians effectively controlled schistosomiasis in Zanzibar. Spanning a four-year study, local medical specialists and the population of Zanzibar received comprehensive training in diagnosing the parasitosis caused by flukes (trematode worms) of the genus Schistosoma. Furthermore, effective methods to eliminate the disease and prevent new infections were established. The developed control system aims to prevent the repeated increase of human schistosomiasis, a prevalent condition in tropical and subtropical regions. Rural populations and poor communities, lacking access to clean drinking water and adequate sanitation, bear the greatest burden of this disease.
This book serves as a valuable blueprint of activities urgently required to combat schistosomiasis in countries with limited medical resources. The strategies outlined are particularly relevant to parasitologists, public health professionals, physicians, medical personnel, and governmental, healthcare, and pharmaceutical institutions. By implementing these proven approaches, countries can strive to improve the health and well-being of their populations, particularly those most affected by this neglected tropical disease.
