Owing to social development, particularly economic reforms since the 1980s, poverty has since been dramatically reduced, and China became increasingly urbanized and industrialized. In parallel, China\u2019s economic transformation translated into similar and remarkable reductions in neglected tropical diseases. Qian and colleagues report in their review published in <jats:italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty<\/jats:italic>, the elimination or near elimination as a public health problem of lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, soil-transmitted helminth infections, schistosomiasis and other neglected tropical diseases. Of note, neglected tropical disease control and poverty reduction each appear to reinforce the other. China\u2019s formula for success in parasitic and neglected tropical disease control might translate to other parts of the world, such as in sub-Saharan Africa through China\u2019s new Belt and Road Initiative.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40249-019-0598-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,2]],"date-time":"2019-10-02T17:03:49Z","timestamp":1570035829000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Whatever happened to China\u2019s neglected tropical diseases?"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Peter J.","family":"Hotez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"598_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1029","DOI":"10.1017\/S0009443902000608","volume":"172","author":"PJ Hotez","year":"2002","unstructured":"Hotez PJ.
