Abstract

Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease that has been given a high priority for control interventions in China. Reference laboratories are a guarantee for accurate acquisition of epidemiological data, assessment of the effectiveness of control interventions and monitoring of disease prevalence. Since the establishment of the echinococcosis reference laboratory network was initiated in 2013 in China, the province-level reference laboratories have currently covered 70% of echinococcosis-endemic areas. This review summarizes the establishment of the national echinococcosis reference laboratories in China, analyzes the challenges and proposes future directions and priories, so as to provide insights into improving the capacity of echinococcosis detection and accelerating the process towards echinococcosis control in China.
