Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO) released the Guideline for Laboratory and Field Trials of Molluscicides for Schistosomiasis Control (hereinafter referred to as the "Guideline") in 2019. The Guideline aims to provide a standardized process for the efficacy test and evaluation of molluscicides, so as to provide a basis for national regulatory authorities to conduct product registration and other work. This article translates the background and three stages of laboratory studies, small-scale field trials, and large-scale field trials stipulated in the Guideline for reference.
