Understanding the Feasibility to Implement Schistosomiasis Elimination Project Under China-Zimbabwe Cooperation: A Pilot Study Protocol
This study is expected to obtain important epidemiological information and indicators regarding the transmission of schistosomiasis at the sub-district level, providing a basis for judging the feasibility and practicality of large-scale China-Zimbabwe cooperation investments. The research results will also offer references for policy-making and the update of prevention and control strategies, contributing to schistosomiasis control in Zimbabwe. However, the study has limitations such as limited funding and difficulties in cross-border drug registration.
