Echinococcosis, both cystic and alveolar, and Taenia solium cysticercosis are the most serious zoonotic cestodoses worldwide. Because of the emerging importance of these diseases in China, several international workshops and meetings were held in this country from 1998 to 2001. Based on round table discussions in Chengdu 2000, the proposal of a strategy to control echinococcosis and cysticercosis has been prepared in China. It includes a comprehensive approach based on a careful analysis of the local situations (particularly concerning the particularities of the cycle, ecology, and ethology of the animal hosts, and behavioral characteristics of the population at risk), the use of newly developed tools both in animals and human (immunology, molecular biology, and imaging), and the association of the traditional control measures (control of slaughtering, antiparasitic treatment and control of the definitive hosts, and health education) with more recent developments such as vaccination of the intermediate hosts. Plans on for the control of echinococcosis and cysticercosis in China are summarized.
囊型和泡型棘球蚴病以及猪带绦虫囊尾蚴病是全球最严重的人畜共患绦虫病。鉴于这些疾病在中国日益凸显的重要性,1998年至2001年期间在中国举办了数次国际研讨会和会议。基于2000年在成都举行的圆桌讨论,中国制定了控制棘球蚴病和囊尾蚴病的战略提案。该提案包括一种综合方法,即基于对当地情况的仔细分析(特别是关于动物宿主的循环、生态和行为学特性以及高危人群的行为特征),运用动物和人类领域新开发的工具(免疫学、分子生物学和影像学),并将传统控制措施(屠宰控制、抗寄生虫治疗和终末宿主控制以及健康教育)与诸如中间宿主疫苗接种等最新进展相结合。本文总结了中国控制棘球蚴病和囊尾蚴病的计划。
