寄生虫威胁着全球人类和动物的健康。据估计，地球上超过60%的人携带至少一种寄生虫，其中许多是几种不同的物种。不幸的是，寄生虫研究遭受重复和不一致的不同研究小组之间。因此，各团体需要在寄生虫控制、改进治疗策略、诊断和监测工具以及公众意识等领域以综合方式开展合作。如果在全世界的学术和非学术组织之间协调管理跨多学科方法计划的实地数据和样本，寄生虫研究将得到更好的服务。在本文中，我们报告了第一个“活的有机体-世界分子网络”，来自各大洲88个国家的167名寄生虫学家的合作。这种综合方法，“疥螨-世界分子网络”，旨在协调来自世界各地的疥螨流行病学，诊断，治疗和分子研究，以减少人类和动物的螨感染。(C)2011年国际传染病学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Parasites threaten human and animal health globally. It is estimated that more than 60% of people on planet Earth carry at least one parasite, many of them several different species. Unfortunately, parasite studies suffer from duplications and inconsistencies between different investigator groups. Hence, groups need to collaborate in an integrated manner in areas including parasite control, improved therapy strategies, diagnostic and surveillance tools, and public awareness. Parasite studies will be better served if there is coordinated management of field data and samples across multidisciplinary approach plans, among academic and non-academic organizations worldwide. In this paper we report the first 'Living organism-World Molecular Network', with the cooperation of 167 parasitologists from 88 countries on all continents. This integrative approach, the 'Sarcoptes-World Molecular Network', seeks to harmonize Sarcoptes epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and molecular studies from all over the world, with the aim of decreasing mite infestations in humans and animals.
