title: Road to the elimination of schistosomiasis from Asia: the journey is far from over.
abstract: Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease with a very long endemic history in Asia. Great strides have been made to control the disease in China and the Philippines but the road to elimination is far from over, given the zoonotic nature of the schistosome parasites in both countries.
