Abstract

Schistosomiasis japonica is an infectious parasitic disease caused by infection with the blood fluke Schistosoma japonicum, which is endemic in China, small pockets of Indonesia, and the Philippines. Of the three countries, the prevalence of infection is the highest in the Philippines, despite decades of mass drug administration (MDA). As a zoonosis with 46 potential mammalian definitive hosts and a snail intermediate host, the control and eventual elimination of S. japonicum requires management of these animal hosts in addition to new interventions for the human hosts, including health education and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. In this review we examine the status and epidemiology of S. japonicum in the Philippines with an overview of the current control program there and what needs to be accomplished in the future to control and eliminate this disease in the country.

菲律宾血吸虫病：流行病学和当前控制的综合综述。

日本血吸虫病是一种由血吸虫日本血吸虫感染引起的传染性寄生虫病，在中国、印度尼西亚的小块地区和菲律宾流行。在这三个国家中，尽管菲律宾实行了数十年的大规模药物管理（MDA），但感染率最高。作为一种人畜共患病，日本血吸虫有46个潜在的哺乳动物最终宿主和一个蜗牛中间宿主，控制和最终消灭日本血吸虫除了需要对人类宿主采取新的干预措施外，还需要对这些动物宿主进行管理，包括健康教育和水、环境卫生和个人卫生（WASH）基础设施。本文综述了菲律宾日本血吸虫的现状和流行病学，概述了菲律宾目前的控制计划以及未来在该国控制和消除该疾病需要完成的工作。
