title: Requirements for sustainable schistosomiasis control.
abstract: In Mali the increased transmission of schistosomiasis following the construction of numerous reservoirs and irrigation schemes, together with experience gained in tackling the disease, have led to a major effort to train personnel in control methods, to achieve decentralized delivery and management, and to foster self-reliance in this field. The author outlines the essential components of a sound national control programme requiring long-term commitment.
