Abstract:

On April 7, 2024, National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Chinese Center for Tropical Diseases Research) released the Surveillance Plan for Schistosoma japonicum Infection in Wild Rats (2024 Edition). This plan serves as a follow-up technical document to the Actions for Accelerating the Progress towards Elimination of Schistosomiasis in China (2023-2030) jointly issued by multiple government sections in June 2023. The plan attempts to specify the surveillance content of wildlife infection sources from Schistosoma japonicum in the national surveillance and early warning response actions, and aims at guiding the schistosomiasis control sections at all levels in endemic areas to scientifically and systematically conduct the monitoring tasks. In this paper, we interpreted the background and purpose, surveillance content and methods, and data management of the plan.
