This project, headed up by Prof Don McManus at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, aims to 1) monitor and evaluate the National Schistosomiasis Control Programme in 16 sentinel villages in the Dongting and Poyang Lakes areas of the P.R. China 2) use mathematical modelling (Prof Gail Williams (UQ)) to predict future S. japonicum transmission rates and to determine the optimum and most cost-effective schistosomiasis intervention strategies for control to reach the goal of elimination.
