AB - Editor's summary:
In their study (" Global feasibility assessment of interrupting the transmission of soil-transmitted helminths: a statistical modelling study" - August 2015) Simon Brooker and colleagues analysed the feasibility of interrupting transmission of soil-transmitted helminths from a global view. It is encouraging that China is listed in the “most feasible” group. Indeed, drastic economic development and helminth control activity have contributed to the great decrease in soil-transmitted helminths in China: the estimated number of infected people declined from 536 million in 1988–1992 to 129 million in 2001–04.2 Furthermore, recent data from national surveillance has shown a continuing pattern of decline.
