Xiao-Nong Zhou,Guo-Jing Yang,Kun Yang,Xian-Hong Wang,Qing-Biao Hong,Le-ping Sun,John B. Malone,Thomas K. Kristensen,N. Robert Bergquist,Jürg Utzinger +9 more
TL;DR: A biology-driven model to assess the potential impact of rising temperature on the transmission of schistosomiasis in China found a temperature threshold of 15.4 degrees C for development of Schistosoma japonicum within the intermediate host snail, and a temperature of 5.8 degrees C at which half the snail sample investigated was in hibernation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A research agenda for helminth diseases of humans: intervention for control and elimination.
Roger K. Prichard,María-Gloria Basáñez,Boakye A. Boatin,Boakye A. Boatin,James S. McCarthy,Hector H. Garcia,Guo-Jing Yang,Banchob Sripa,Sara Lustigman +8 more
TL;DR: To achieve the goals of morbidity reduction or elimination of infection, novel tools need to be developed, including more efficacious drugs, vaccines, and/or antivectorial agents, new diagnostics for infection and assessment of drug efficacy, and markers for possible anthelmintic resistance.

A research agenda for helminth diseases of humans: diagnostics for control and elimination programmes.
James S. McCarthy,Sara Lustigman,Guo-Jing Yang,Rashida Barakat,Hector H. Garcia,Banchob Sripa,Arve Lee Willingham,Roger K. Prichard,María-Gloria Basáñez +8 more
TL;DR: The Disease Reference Group on Helminths Infections (DRG4), established in 2009 by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) was given the mandate to review helminthiases research and identify research priorities and gaps is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
China's new strategy to block Schistosoma japonicum transmission: experiences and impact beyond schistosomiasis.
Long-De Wang,Jia-Gang Guo,Xiao-Hua Wu,Hong-Gen Chen,Tian-Ping Wang,Shao-Ping Zhu,Zhi-Hai Zhang,Peter Steinmann,Peter Steinmann,Guo-Jing Yang,Shi-Ping Wang,Zhong-Dao Wu,Li-Ying Wang,Yang Hao,Robert Bergquist,Jürg Utzinger,Xiao-Nong Zhou +16 more
TL;DR: This strategy showed an impact on diseases beyond schistosomiasis, signified by concomitant reductions in the prevalence of soil‐transmitted helminth infections and is encouraged to investigate the scope and limits of integrated control of neglected tropical diseases.
Book ChapterDOI
Schistosomiasis japonica control and research needs.
Xiao-Nong Zhou,Robert Bergquist,Lydia Leonardo,Guo-Jing Yang,Kun Yang,Mohammad Sudomo,Remigio M. Olveda +6 more
TL;DR: The analyses reveal that an integrated control approach, implemented through intersectoral collaboration, is essential to bring down the prevalence and intensity of Schistosoma japonicum infections and disease-related morbidity, and to sustain these parameters at low levels.
