title: [Study on a new prevention and control model on soil-borne parasitic diseases in rural areas of China].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore a new prevention and control model on soil-borne parasitic diseases in rural areas of China.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eight provinces and autonomous regions were selected in China as demonstration areas implementing integrated control on soil-borne parasitic diseases. The integrated control measures included authority organization and harmonization, health education, deworming, and environment modification.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After three years, the infection rates of soil-borne parasitic diseases were significantly decreased in these areas. There were three safe guard and organization modes, three health education modes, four mass worming medication modes, and two modes of water, toilet and environment changes.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The work in the various demonstration areas was summarized which pointed out a new model with efficiency and local characteristics on soil-borne parasitic disease prevention and control.
