[Progress of international and national researches on disease burden of echinococcosis].

As a neglected tropical disease defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), echinococcosis causes a huge public health burden. Understanding the disease burden due to echinococcosis facilitates the progress towards elimination of the disease. This review analyzes the advances in disease and economic burdens of echinococcosis, describes the status quo disease burden due to echinococcosis in different areas of the world, compares the difference between international and national studies on disease and economic burdens of echinococcosis, and discusses the shortcomings of the current international and national studies on disease burden of echinococcosis. Currently, the studies on disease burden of echinococcosis suffer from problems of few field survey data and lack of authoritative disability weights for echinococcosis, while the studies on economic burden of echinococcosis suffer from problems of lack of comprehensive study populations and indicators.［摘要］ 棘球蚴病被 WHO 列为一种被忽视的热带病, 造成了巨大公共卫生负担。了解棘球蚴病所致疾病负担有助于推 进该疾病消除进程。本文分析了国内外棘球蚴病疾病负担与经济负担研究进展, 描述了国外不同地区棘球蚴病疾病负 担研究现状, 比较了国内外研究差异, 探究了目前国内外棘球蚴病疾病负担研究不足之处。目前, 棘球蚴病疾病负担研 究中现场调查数据较少, 且缺乏权威伤残权重取值标准; 经济负担研究中人群和分析指标不够全面。.
