Abstract

Abstract:

Schistosomiasis is a major infectious disease that was once widely prevalent and caused serious damages in China. Elimination of schistosomiasis is an important component to advance the Healthy China Initiative. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, China adhered to a strategy anchored in technological innovation and centered on precision control, establishing a working mechanism featuring “Party and government leadership, multi-sectoral collaboration, social mobilization, and whole-of-society participation”. Through integrated control, precise and science-based interventions, China achieved the target of transmission interruption of schistosomiasis nationwide. The paper systematically summarized the effectiveness of integrating technological innovation with precision control in national schistosomiasis control programme in China during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period and analyzed current risks of schistosomiasis rebound, technical bottlenecks and deficiencies in prevention and control capacities. According to the requirements of the Action Plan to Accelerate the Elimination of Schistosomiasis in China (2023-2030), this paper proposes the dual wheel-driven advancement pathways for schistosomiasis elimination anchored in technological innovation and centered on precision control during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, including strengthening breakthroughs on core technologies, improving precision control systems, refining long-term working mechanisms, and deepening multi-domain collaboration and coordination, so as to provide the theoretical evidence and practical guidance for achieving the target of schistosomiasis elimination and sustainably consolidating the achievements of schistosomiasis elimination across the country.

Key words: Schistosomiasis, Elimination, “15th Five-Year”, Surveillance and early warning, Precision control, Technological innovation
