Zhou Xiaonong, director of the Institute of Parasitic Diseases at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the release of the microfilm "Insects" comes at the right time. "Currently, although my country has made world-renowned achievements in the prevention and control of parasitic diseases, parasitic diseases are endemic in a wide area and the population at risk is large. The rapid socio-economic development and frequent population movements have led to the emergence and emergence of new and rare parasitic diseases. Outbreaks are still a threat. In particular, the incidence of some food-borne, water-borne and vector-borne parasitic diseases is on the rise in some areas of our country. This not only threatens local residents, but also affects the health of mobile people. Therefore, the public should be informed in a timely manner of these easily infected people. There are neglected infectious diseases, and it is very necessary to take preventive measures during travel.”

Chen Xin, director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the World Health Organization classifies parasitic diseases as neglected tropical diseases. Shanghai announced the elimination of schistosomiasis in 1985, lymphatic filariasis in 1996, and malaria in 2017. Disease control personnel have taken the lead in setting examples. Although parasitic diseases no longer pose a major threat to the health of local residents in Shanghai, as a megacity and an important international port, there are many large-scale and major events and intensive movement of people. Imported parasitic diseases at home and abroad occur from time to time, which has a great impact on this city. The improvement of the monitoring and early warning system has put forward higher requirements. "We will continue to benchmark against the highest international standards and levels, and strive to build Shanghai into one of the safest cities for public health in the world. Disease control professionals at all levels must also continue to strengthen their awareness of science popularization, carry out interdisciplinary cooperation, and strive to improve science popularization and dissemination, etc. All-around skills.”

The Science Popularization Handbook popularizes authoritative knowledge, and the rare disease of "painful breathing" affects 3 million people worldwide

The first education manual for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in China has recently been launched. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, also known as a rare disease that causes pain upon breathing, currently has about 3 million patients worldwide. There is currently no large-scale epidemiological research data in China, but the burden of medical and health resources caused by the disease cannot be underestimated. Improving public awareness of the disease, standardizing treatment, and achieving early detection and diagnosis can be achieved. Professor Dai Huaping of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital explained that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a rare disease. After pulmonary fibrosis, patients will gradually lose their normal function, resulting in increasingly difficult expansion and contraction of the lungs during breathing, and severely impaired mobility. In addition to difficulty in movement, patients also have to endure unimaginable "breathless pain" that ordinary people cannot imagine, and may even worsen symptoms, breathing difficulties, and pulmonary function in the short term due to acute exacerbation
