DESCRIZIONE

Control of parasitic infections of humans has progressed rapidly over the last three decades. Such advances have resulted from focal disease control efforts based on historically effective interventions to new approaches to control following intensive research and pilot programs. This volume focuses on the present state of control of the significant human parasitic infectious diseases. Reviews “This book is… not only a unique state-of-the-art sourcebook on parasitic disease control, but also a major prod to policy action.” Jeffrey D. Sachs, from his Foreword "With a new global focus on the control or elimination of neglected tropical diseases, there is a real need for a single collection of up to date information on this topic. This volume of Advances meets this need by featuring comprehensive reviews by noted experts on parasitic diseases of public health importance." Patrick J. Lammie, CDC/NCID/PD "A wonderful contribution to health development based on highly relevant expertise and experience and compiled with the spirit of mutual learning for change" Marcel Tanner, Swiss Tropical Institute "Here, in the words of experts in their respective fields, are the facts, here are the high-efficiency, low cost and sustainable solutions and, above all, here is a blueprint for future policies and opportunities that must be seized." Professor F. E. G. Cox, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Features - Includes the impact of recent research findings on control strategy - Discusses the health policy implications of these findings and the importance of evaluation and monitoring - Highlights the lessons learned and the interactions between control programs and health systems
