摘要
The control of schistosomiasis has been a challenging task for most endemic countries. Thus, despite the concerted efforts to date, schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern, second only to malaria in the tropics and subtropics. In this review, Lorenzo Savioli and colleagues highlight changes in schistosomiasis prevalence and distribution over the past decades, discuss the success and limitations of the various control strategies, and present possible control initiatives for the future.
