盼望已久的医学寄生虫学会终于今天在中华预防医学会的领导下,宣告成立了。中国是一个“虫数众多”的国家。建国后对几种主要寄生虫病的防治取得了不同程度的成果,但还有不少问题:丝虫病已在7个省、市、自治区宣告基本消灭,但对遗留下来的晚期病人还缺少办法;疟疾的发病人数逐步下降,但要吸取国际间的教训,不能放松;黑热病在西北地区留下的尾巴,有上翘的趋势;血吸虫病已在三分之二以上的流行县、市中宣告消灭或基本消灭。对余下的地区还缺乏有效的防治对策。至于尚未列入全国防治规划的寄生虫,更有大量的问题等待我们解决,一些对人有明显致病性的寄生虫如棘球蚴、并殖吸虫、猪囊尾蚴,业已开始受到重视,但 The long-awaited Medical Parasitology Society was finally announced today under the leadership of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine.

As for the parasites that have not yet been listed in the national prevention and control plan, there are still many more problems waiting for us to solve.
