Report of the American Schistosomiasis Delegation* to the People's Republic of China

The American Schistosomiasis Delegation's trip to China was sponsored by the Committee on Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China. Since the Shanghai agreement in 1972, this Committee has been the primary American organization operating scholarly exchanges between the two countries. It is jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, the Social Science Research Council, and the American Council of Learned Societies. Schistosomiasis was among the first exchanges negotiated between this Committee and China's Scientific and Technical Association in May 1973. The delegation's visit actually took place from 8 April to 2 May 1975.

While in China the American Schistosomiasis Delegation visited six cities—Peking, Shanghai, Soochow, Wuhsi, Hangchow, and Kwangchow—and several rural communes near these metropolitan areas. Our itinerary included three provinces with a well-known previous record of schistosomiasis endemicity—Chekiang and Kiangsu in the Yangtze Delta, and Kwangtung on the southern coast.

Accepted for publication January 5, 1977.


* Members of the Delegation were: Paul F. Basch, Stanford University (Deputy Chairman); John I. Bruce, Lowell Technological Institute; Ernest Bueding, Johns Hopkins University (Chairman); Mary B. Bullock, Committee on Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China (Secretary); Myron L. Cohen, Columbia University; Edward F. Elslager, Parke Davis & Company; Irving G. Kagan, Center for Disease Control; J. Stauffer Lehman, Jr., Harvard University (presently: The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation); Lawrence S. Ritchie, Puerto Rico Nuclear Center; Virgil C. Scott, The Rockefeller Foundation; John J. Taylor, Department of State; and Marietta Voge, University of California, Los Angeles.

The views expressed in this report are the opinions of the members of the Schistosomiasis Delegation and are in no way the official views of the Committee or its sponsoring organizations—the American Coucil of Learned Societies, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Social Science Research Council.
