Abstract

Abstract: Currently, echinococcosis is highly prevalent in both China and Mongolia, and the risk of cross⁃border echinococcosis transmission raises growing concerns. This article describes the epidemiology of echinococcosis in China and Mongolia, compares echinococcosis control measures between the countries, and discusses the potential risk of cross⁃border echinococcosis transmission due to human and animal mobility, transboundary movement of animal hosts, and disparities in control capacity between the two countries. In addition, the article proposes the promising cooperation areas for joint prevention and control of echinococcosis between the two countries, including the joint development of guidelines and standards, technical and financial assistance, and cross⁃border pathogen monitoring and tracing, so as to provide insights into cross⁃boundary health cooperation between China and Mongolia, effective management of echinococcosis transmission, and improvements in the regional public health security.

Key words: Echinococcosis, Prevalence, Prevention and control, Cross?border transmission, China, Mongolia

摘要： 棘球蚴病在中国与蒙古国境内均存在高度流行地区，跨境传播风险日益受到关注。本文综述了中国和蒙古国棘球蚴病流行现状，比较了两国在防控措施方面的差异，并探讨了因人畜流动性增强、动物宿主跨境活动、两国防控能力差异所导致的棘球蚴病跨境传播风险。在此基础上，本文展望了两国联合防控棘球蚴病的主要合作领域，包括指南标准共建、技术资金援助、跨境病原监测与溯源等，旨在为中蒙两国开展跨国卫生合作、有效控制棘球蚴病传播、提升区域公共卫生安全提供参考。
