Download or read book Surveillance and Management of Parasitic Diseases in China written by Xiao-Nong Zhou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The book includes three main parts. The first part consists of general chapters, which covers the general information on parasitic disease surveillance, the classification and application of surveillance technologies, etc. The second part of chapters cover surveillance technologies on parasites distribution, infections patterns in a region, related vectors, ecological environment elements, and the early warning and response, etc. In the third part of chapters, the concepts, methods, operating procedures, data collection, result analysis, reports and conclusions of various surveillance technologies in detail, along with the examples and guidelines of surveillance and management for parasitic infections are included. The book is likely to be of interest to the world-wide professionals, practitioners, managers and policy makers in governments or industry in the field of infectious diseases control.

Download or read book Investing to Overcome the Global Impact of Neglected Tropical Diseases written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The presence, or absence, of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) can be seen as a proxy for poverty and for the success of interventions aimed at reducing poverty. Today, coverage of the public-health interventions recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) against NTDs may be interpreted as a proxy for universal health coverage and shared prosperity - in short, a proxy for coverage against neglect. As the world's focus shifts from development to sustainable development, from poverty eradication to shared prosperity, and from disease-specific goals to universal health coverage, control of NTDs will assume an important role towards the target of achieving universal health coverage, including individual financial risk protection. Success in overcoming NTDs is a "litmus test" for universal health coverage against NTDs in endemic countries. The first WHO report on NTDs (2010) set the scene by presenting the evidence for how these interventions had produced results. The second report (2013) assessed the progress made in deploying them and detailed the obstacles to their implementation. This third report analyses for the first time the investments needed to achieve the scale up of implementation required to achieve the targets of the WHO Roadmap on NTDs and universal coverage against NTDs. INVESTING TO OVERCOME THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES presents an investment strategy for NTDs and analyses the specific investment case for prevention, control, elimination and eradication of 12 of the 17 NTDs. Such an analysis is justified following the adoption by the Sixty-sixth World Health Assembly in 2013 of resolution WHA6612 on neglected tropical diseases, which called for sufficient and predictable funding to achieve the Roadmap's targets and sustain control efforts. The report cautions, however, that it is wise investment and not investment alone that will yield success. The report registers progress and challenges and signals those that lie ahead. Climate change is expected to increase the spread of several vector-borne NTDs, notably dengue, transmission of which is directly influenced by temperature, rainfall, relative humidity and climate variability primarily through their effects on the vector. Investments in vector-borne diseases will avoid the potentially catastrophic expenditures associated with their control. The presence of NTDs will thereby signal an early warning system for climate-sensitive diseases. The ultimate goal is to deliver enhanced and equitable interventions to the most marginalized populations in the context of a changing public-health and investment landscape to ensure that all peoples affected by NTDs have an opportunity to lead healthier and wealthier lives."--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diseases of China, Including Formosa and Korea It is necessary to emphasise that this book is not in any sense intended to be a general text-book of medicine, nor even to cover the whole ground of the diseases met with in China. Some of these, such as phthisis, pneumonia, and so forth, differ clinically in no respects from the same diseases as encountered in the West, and are therefore left untouched or only treated from the standpoint of their distribution or otherwise merely alluded to in these pages. Our aim is to present to medical men working in China, both Chinese and foreign, a concise account of the special diseases they will meet with in their own practice in this empire. A complete account of many of these diseases might be obtained from the voluminous literature of tropical medicine, and of most of those remaining from general medical literature. We present them in one volume of a reasonable size and with constant and special reference to their modifications as brought about by the hygienic habits and the racial peculiarities of the people of China, and draw our illustrative cases from practice among the same. It has been possible only to allude here and there to questions and studies arising out of this vast and promising field for comparative medical research, the disproval and establishment of medical theories by reference and comparison with the conditions and findings under widely differing civilisations. Such questions are raised under discussion of the etiology of beri-beri, the relation of carcinoma and gout, plague infection, and at many other points, but we would emphasize that this field is enormous in possibilities for future usefulness and would warrant the attention of special research workers. This work is illustrated very largely by photographs of diseased conditions among the Chinese; most of them being of our own taking and the majority having never been published. A certain number have appeared only in the China Medical Journal. Others have been taken, with permission, from recent works on pathology, parasitology, tropical medicine, and so forth, and acknowledgement is made in the text. Complete acknowledgement has been made as far as possible of all sources of outside information and illustration in the text of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of diseases frequently found in impoverished communities in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The risk for many of the NTDs is high in both deprived urban and rural areas of East Asia. Adapted to the endemic settings and characteristics of the diseases, a range of tools and strategies are currently being rolled out for the large-scale control of many NTDs. Both vector control measures and community sensitization programmes have for example been used to control dengue in urbanized settings. Challenges posed by yaws and lymphatic filariasis are being addressed by mass drug administration, while rabies requires the involvement of the veterinary public health sector for disease control. For leprosy, an elimination target has been defined; however, achieving this goal remains a considerable challenge. Food-borne trematodiases, on the other hand, are emerging and require a deeper understanding of its burden in East Asia and how these diseases can be tackled in a cost-effective manner. Finally, factors, such as an increase of non-communicable diseases due to changing lifestyles which accompany economic growth, the spreading HIV epidemic as well as climate change and the occurrence of natural disasters can potentially affect the epidemiology and control of NTDs. This volume discusses the mentioned topics in detail with contributions by experts in the respective research areas from different working environments.
