Abstract

In the WHO new road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021-2030, the disease-specific targets are classified into control, elimination as a public health problem, elimination and eradication, and taeniasis and cysticercosis are targeted for control. The overall prevalence of taeniasis and cysticercosis is low in China, and varies remarkably in regions and populations; however, there are many challenges for elimination of taeniasis and cysticercosis in China. Based on previous taeniasis and cysticercosis control programs, developing a sensitive taeniasis and cysticercosis surveillance-response system, updating criteria for diagnosis of taeniasis and cysticercosis, proposing a national guideline for treatment of taeniasis and cysticercosis, and strengthening interdisciplinary and intersectoral communications and collaborations are urgently needed under the One Health concept.

[摘要] WHO关于2021—2030年被忽视的热带病防控路线图将疾病控制目标分成4个层级, 分别是控制、作为公共卫生问题被消除、消除和根除。带绦虫病和囊尾蚴病被列为需要控制的疾病。总体上, 我国带绦虫病和囊尾蚴病人群感染率呈低水平, 流行程度呈明显地区和人群分布差异, 但消除带绦虫病和囊尾蚴病面临诸多挑战。在以往防控工作的基础上, 还需在“全健康”理念下建立完整的带绦虫病和囊尾蚴病监测体系、更新带绦虫病和囊尾蚴病诊断标准、确立国家级治疗标准、提升跨学科和跨部门交流协作能力。.
