Shanghai, China
The International Symposium on Schistosomiasis (ISS 2001) is scheduled for July 4-6, 2001 in Shanghai. The aims of the symposium are to explore new approaches and exchange experiences in the control of schistosomiasis, to promote friendly communication among scientists in all countries, and to give impetus to the cooperation between scientists of this country and the specialized agencies in the world involved in the control and research of schistosomiasis.
China has made substantial progress in controlling schistosomiasis. The number of infected persons has been steadily decreasing, from more than 10 million in the 1950s to currently less than one million, and the disease has been eradicated in five out of 12 originally infected provinces. Aiming at morbidity control, the implementation of the China Schistosomiasis Control programme, supported by the World Bank Loan 1992-2000, has resulted in a further decrease of prevalence and morbidity, both in humans and bovines.
The Organizing Committee is looking forward, in all earnestness, to your participating in the Symposium. It is our sincere hope to acquire an understanding, through exchanges among scientists both within and outside the country, on subjects relating to the control of schistosomiasis in the fields of research, information, activities, new technique and methodology in order to facilitate the further development and improvement of anti-schistosomiasis activities, as to expedite the control process of this country as well as in the world.
