Disability weight of Clonorchis sinensis infection : captured from community study and model simulation. PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 5(12): e1377. doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0001377http://hdl.handle.net/10625/48010Clonorchiasis is among the most neglected tropical diseases. It is caused by ingesting raw or undercooked fish or shrimp containing the larval of Clonorchis sinensis and is mainly endemic in Southeast Asia including China, Korea and Vietnam. The paper calculates the disability weight, which reflects the average degree of loss of life value due to certain chronic disease conditions. Some evidence shows that the disability weight and geometric mean of eggs per gram of feces (GMEPG) fits a logarithmic equation. The disability weight captured in the study may be referred to for estimating the disease burden of C. sinensis infection.Text1 digital file (9 p. : ill.)application/pdfenCLONORCHIS SINENSISCLONORCHIASISDISABILITY WEIGHTGLOBAL DISEASE BURDENTROPICAL DISEASESGLOBAL SOUTHFAR EAST ASIAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
