“…Among the regions affected by echinococcosis, there were nine endemic provinces (autonomous regions): Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Xinjiang (Ma et al . 2023). Currently, these nine provinces continue to bear the highest burden of human echinococcosis (Supplementary data).…”

Echinococcosis poses a significant threat to public health. The Chinese government has implemented prevention and control measures to mitigate the impact of the disease. By analyzing data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, we found that implementation of these measures has reduced the infection rate by nearly 50% between 2004 to 2022 (from 0.3975 to 0.1944 per 100,000 person-years). Nonetheless, some regions still bear a significant disease burden, and lack of detailed information limites further evaluation of the effects on both alveolar and cystic echinococcosis. Our analysis supports the continuing implementation of these measures and suggests that enhanced wildlife management, case-based strategies, and surveillance systems will facilitate disease control.

“…These factors were found to be associated with the prevalence of echinococcosis (Ma et al . 2023). In regions with high incidence rates, it is essential to promote disease awareness among the population, especially through health education of preschool children and promotion of scientific knowledge among the elderly.…”
