Quatrième de couverture : "Ce livre présente d'une manière synthétique et pratique, d'une part, les parasitoses rencontrées tant en ville qu'en milieu hospitalier et, d'autre part, les pathologies du voyageur. Les parasitoses ont été classées en fonction de la symptomatologie principale (atteinte cutanée, troubles digestifs, fièvre, atteinte neurologique/oculaire, atteinte génito-urinaire). Les noms des parasitoses sont clairement identifiés selon qu'il s'agit de parasitoses autochtones ou de parasitoses importées. Deux parties sont consacrées à la préparation au voyage (conseils, prévention des piqûres de moustiques, antipaludiques, vaccins) et aux diagnostics des pathologies du retour à envisager selon le motif de consultation (fièvre, diarrhée, lésions cutanées). Des fiches en annexes concernent les antihelminthiques (modalités d'utilisation, indications, contre-indications), l'éosinophilie parasitaire (bilans étiologiques) et l'examen parasitologique des selles (régime, optimisation du recueil). Ordonnances en parasitologie, médecine tropicale et des voyages constitut un guide et un aide-mémoire précieux pour la pratique quotidienne."

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of diseases frequently found in impoverished communities in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The risk for many of the NTDs is high in both deprived urban and rural areas of East Asia. Adapted to the endemic settings and characteristics of the diseases, a range of tools and strategies are currently being rolled out for the large-scale control of many NTDs. Both vector control measures and community sensitization programmes have for example been used to control dengue in urbanized settings. Challenges posed by yaws and lymphatic filariasis are being addressed by mass drug administration, while rabies requires the involvement of the veterinary public health sector for disease control. For leprosy, an elimination target has been defined; however, achieving this goal remains a considerable challenge. Food-borne trematodiases, on the other hand, are emerging and require a deeper understanding of its burden in East Asia and how these diseases can be tackled in a cost-effective manner. Finally, factors, such as an increase of non-communicable diseases due to changing lifestyles which accompany economic growth, the spreading HIV epidemic as well as climate change and the occurrence of natural disasters can potentially affect the epidemiology and control of NTDs. This volume discusses the mentioned topics in detail with contributions by experts in the respective research areas from different working environments.

Current efforts to limit the ravages of schistosomiasis are pushing the world closer to eliminating a chronic infection that has been associated with human life in the tropics since time immemorial. This notwithstanding, the disease remains a scourge for large populations in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, and the main part of this book is made up by papers dealing with its current distribution, discussing ways and means to establish and implement improved control approaches. While chemotherapy limits the symptoms caused by schistosomiasis, the number of infected people will not decrease until the parasite's life cycle is interrupted. To that end, some papers focus on the intermediate snail host, which is notoriously difficult to control, while others discuss human hygiene and sanitation. The latter approach not only prevents infection through avoiding people being infected from the snail, but more importantly, also stops people infecting the snail by leaving contagious feces and urine in nature. With morbidity reduced by chemotherapy, the immediate target now is the interruption of transmission to be achieved by new tools, such as the novel chemotherapies, improved diagnostics (for humans, animals, and snails), and vaccines discussed in several of the papers. As made clear in this book, a complex infection requires new tools as well as work on many fronts, above all; however, a clear idea is needed as to how to skillfully combine the tools available and sustain implemented control activities.
