This book intends to share the lessons and experiences learnt from the Chinese parasitic diseases control programme to the professionals, policy makers and researchers from other disease endemic countries. Especially, those lessons on surveillance and response have been well distilled at national level in China, where some of parasitic diseases have been and going to be eliminated, e.g. lymphatic filariasis, malaria, schistosomiasis. The book covers the concept and technologies on surveillance and response to endemic and outbreaks of parasitic diseases, as well as relevant case management and data handling.
