What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
Established in 2016, China's national surveillance system for soil-transmitted helminthiasis provides annual data that are essential for its control. Surveillance data from 2016 to 2022 indicated a steady decline in the overall infection rate, from 2.46% in 2016 to 0.64% in 2022.
What Is Added By This Report?:
In 2023 and 2024, the infection rates of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) were 0.53% and 0.47%, respectively, according to national surveillance. The overall infection rate has declined since 2016.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
Soil-transmitted helminthiasis exhibits a low prevalence nationwide, yet displays significant geographical and demographic heterogeneity, as well as ongoing transmission risks. Tailored strategies must be implemented to strengthen national control efforts, advance transmission control and prevent interruptions.
