目前正在采取新的方法，综合和扩大控制被忽视的热带病（包括血吸虫病）。在这方面，考虑社会科学的观点至关重要。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了与非洲血吸虫病持续控制相关的社会科学出版物，包括诊断和筛查，治疗，清洁水的供应和改善卫生条件，以及健康传播。还探讨了社区参与的研究以及血吸虫病控制方案与更广泛的卫生保健系统之间的联系。未来的社会科学的相关性，可持续血吸虫病控制的方向进行了概述，包括如何确保公平获得卫生服务，以及参与流行社区和当地卫生保健系统的基础上平等的伙伴关系。
New ways of integrating and scaling up control of neglected tropical diseases (including schistosomiasis) are presently underway. In this context consideration of social science perspectives is essential. In this article, we review social science publications of relevance to sustained control of schistosomiasis in Africa including diagnosis and screening, treatment, supply of clean water and improved sanitation, as well as health communication. Studies of community involvement and links between schistosomiasis control programmes and broader health care systems are also explored. Directions for future social science of relevance to sustainable schistosomiasis control are outlined, including ways of ensuring equitable access to health services as well as involvement of endemic communities and local health care systems based on equal partnership.
