The current piece reviews a thematic series on surveillance-response systems for elimination of tropical diseases. Overall, 22 contributions covering a broad array of diseases are featured – i.e. clonorchiasis, dengue, hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), H7N9 avian influenza, lymphatic filariasis, malaria, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), rabies, schistosomiasis and tuberculosis (TB). There are five scoping reviews, a commentary, a letter to the editor, an opinion piece and an editorial pertaining to the theme “Elimination of tropical disease through surveillance and response”. The remaining 13 articles are original contributions mainly covering (i) drug resistance; (ii) innovation and validation in the field of mathematical modelling; (iii) elimination of infectious diseases; and (iv) social media reports on disease outbreak notifications released by national health authorities. Analysis of the authors’ affiliations reveals that scientists from the People’s Republic of China (P.R. China) are prominently represented. Possible explanations include the fact that the 2012 and 2014 international conferences pertaining to surveillance-response mechanisms were both hosted by the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases (NIPD) in Shanghai, coupled with P.R. China’s growing importance with regard to the control of infectious diseases. Within 4 to 22 months of publication, three of the 22 contributions were viewed more than 10 000 times each. With sustained efforts focusing on relevant and strategic information towards control and elimination of infectious diseases, <italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty</italic> has become a leading journal in the field of surveillance and response systems in infectious diseases and beyond.</p><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article

The current piece reviews a thematic series on surveillance-response systems for elimination of tropical diseases. Overall, 22 contributions covering a broad array of diseases are featured – i.e. clonorchiasis, dengue, hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), H7N9 avian influenza, lymphatic filariasis, malaria, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), rabies, schistosomiasis and tuberculosis (TB). There are five scoping reviews, a commentary, a letter to the editor, an opinion piece and an editorial pertaining to the theme “Elimination of tropical disease through surveillance and response”. The remaining 13 articles are original contributions mainly covering (i) drug resistance; (ii) innovation and validation in the field of mathematical modelling; (iii) elimination of infectious diseases; and (iv) social media reports on disease outbreak notifications released by national health authorities. Analysis of the authors’ affiliations reveals that scientists from the People’s Republic of China (P.R. China) are prominently represented. Possible explanations include the fact that the 2012 and 2014 international conferences pertaining to surveillance-response mechanisms were both hosted by the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases (NIPD) in Shanghai, coupled with P.R. China’s growing importance with regard to the control of infectious diseases. Within 4 to 22 months of publication, three of the 22 contributions were viewed more than 10 000 times each. With sustained efforts focusing on relevant and strategic information towards control and elimination of infectious diseases, <italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty</italic> has become a leading journal in the field of surveillance and response systems in infectious diseases and beyond.</p><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40249-016-0144-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Infectious diseases</kwd><kwd>Tropical diseases</kwd><kwd>Health systems</kwd><kwd>Surveillance and response systems</kwd><kwd>Elimination</kwd><kwd>People’s Republic of China</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>the National S&T Major Program </institution></funding-source><award-id>2012ZX10004220</award-id></award-group></funding-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2016</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1"><title>Multilingual abstracts</title><p>Please see Additional file <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref> for translations of the abstract into the six official working languages of the United Nations.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Background</title><p>Tropical diseases are inextricably linked to populations living in resource-constrained settings [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. Infectious diseases of poverty, a collective term coined for infections known to be particularly prevalent amongst marginalized communities, is increasingly used to describe tropical diseases with special transmission routes, such as those that depend on a vector (e.g. malaria; vector is a mosquito) or an intermediate host (e.g. schistosomiasis; intermediate host is a snail) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>].</p><p>The vision of the BioMed Central (BMC) open-access journal <italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty</italic> is in line with the objectives put forth by the World Health Organization (WHO) in its 2012 Global Report [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>]. The journal was launched in October 2012 to explore new avenues in research to deepen the understanding of the relationship between infectious diseases and poverty, to contribute to priority-setting and translation of key findings into policies and programmes to control and eliminate these diseases. The expanded “One World – One Health” concept, first proposed by the Wildlife Conservation Society and supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), WHO, the World Bank and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), recognises that the health of people, animals, and societies is intimately linked, and ultimately dependent, on the resilience of the world’s life-supporting ecosystems [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. Based on this concept, <italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty</italic> has published a series of original articles and empirical work with reference to analyses of disease burdens, their distributions and the research that is needed in this area. To raise global awareness of infectious diseases of poverty, the journal has not only published original research articles but also scoping reviews that highlight trans-disciplinary advances in the science undertaken. Several collections in different areas and on various topics have been published [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>].</p><p>The most recent collection, entitled “Surveillance and response to infectious diseases of poverty”, features 22 articles on topics ranging from tropical diseases to recent outbreaks of the H7N9 avian influenza A and the Middle East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus infection (MERS-CoV) with considerable international impact [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. Eleven diseases are included, i.e. clonorchiasis, dengue, hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), H7N9 avian influenza, lymphatic filariasis, malaria, MERS, rabies, schistosomiasis and tuberculosis (TB). The purpose of this overview is to summarise and systematise the research and shed new light on the plans for elimination of infectious diseases of poverty put forth in the current collection of the journal.</p></sec><sec id="Sec3"><title>Article collection</title><sec id="Sec4"><title>The categories</title><p>This collection of articles published in <italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty</italic> highlights surveillance-response systems that are geared towards the elimination of tropical diseases.

Several other infectious diseases (e.g. diarrhoea, measles and upper respiratory tract infections) are also addressed (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1b</xref>).</p><p>As shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2a</xref>, there was a spectrum of author constellations ranging from three single-author contributions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>] to collaborative pieces co-authored by up to 10 researchers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>]. More than three-quarters (77.3 %) of the articles were written by at least three authors, while the median number of authors per article is four.

Current strategies and the WHO’s roadmap for elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>] are reviewed. A priority research agenda within the “One World – One Health” framework for global health has been developed, including (i) the establishment of a platform for resource-sharing and effective surveillance-response systems for Asia Pacific and Africa with an initial focus on efforts aimed at the elimination of lymphatic filariasis, malaria and schistosomiasis; (ii) development of new strategies, tools and approaches, such as improved diagnostics and antimalarial therapy; (iii) rigorous validation of surveillance-response systems; and (iv) designing pilot studies for the transfer of Chinese experience of successful surveillance-response systems to endemic countries with limited resources. To emphasise the objectives of this thematic issue based on a “One World – One Health” paradigm, an editorial summarises the outcomes of the First <italic>Forum on Surveillance Response Systems Leading to Tropical Diseases Elimination</italic>, held in Shanghai in June 2012, including identified research priorities [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec8"><title>Data handling and databases</title><p>Modelling based on a minimum essential database had been proposed in the First <italic>Forum on Surveillance Response System Leading to Tropical Disease Elimination</italic> and was reiterated in the second forum, held in June 2014, again in Shanghai. A key outcome of the two conferences was the writing-up of the 22 articles featured here. This body of work emphasises the essential role that a minimum essential database can play for effective surveillance and responses that are readily tailored for specific settings.</p><p>Data on treatments, co-infections and prevalence of a large variety of tropical diseases are provided in this collection. One scoping review put forth by Liu et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>] emphasises that chloroquine-resistant <italic>Plasmodium falciparum</italic> malaria exists in eight provinces/autonomous regions of P.R. China. This type of resistance is particularly widespread in the provinces of Hainan and Yunnan. The issue also covers formulations and recommendations of therapeutic regimens for antimalarial drug use in P.R. China for artemisinin/pyronaridine compounds to promote the rational use of antimalarials and strengthen malaria control/elimination efforts [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>].</p><p>Contemporary data on immunological, haematological and viral responses and predictors of reported therapeutic failure after initiation of free antiretroviral treatment in Cameroon were collected to evaluate existing treatment-monitoring algorithms and to complement efforts to scale-up and improve the management of HIV/AIDS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>].</p><p>Since the early 1990s, it has been suggested that HIV and <italic>S. mansoni</italic> may interact and potentiate the effects of each other within the co-infected human host. A previous collection of <italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty</italic> included two articles on the topic of co-infections with one article pertaining to HIV-1/AIDS and <italic>S. mansoni</italic> that are both widespread in sub-Saharan Africa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>], and the second elucidating on the impact of HIV on TB [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>]. The implications of co-infections, both for TB and HIV/AIDS control, are of considerable public health relevance in Ghana, as almost a quarter (23 %) of all TB cases were HIV positive according to a report from 2010. The integration of TB and HIV services has therefore emerged as an essential component of the national response to TB and HIV co-infections in this country [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>].</p><p>Dual burden of disease and other special physical conditions are also covered in this collection , e.g. the report by Amare and colleagues who observed a 6.2 % prevalence of smear-positive pulmonary TB (PTB) in diabetic patients, which turned out to be several-fold higher compared with the general population (0.39 %). Patients with a previous history of contact with TB patients, as well as those with prolonged diabetes, were found to be particularly prone to have PTB, making it necessary to screen diabetic patients for PTB infection at follow-up medical visits [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>].</p><p>Agomo et al. observed that acquired partial immunity against malaria during pregnancy is a key factor in keeping this infection at an asymptomatic level. Depending on the malaria endemicity in a given setting, it is expected that up to 50 % of pregnant women may have parasitaemia, especially in the placenta, although they might not be aware of this [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec9"><title>Modelling approaches</title><p>A mathematical model for the prediction of risk of infection through needle/syringe-sharing during mass vaccination, including a formula for its calculation, has been developed by Okamoto [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>]. Another two research articles with an emphasis on modelling, put forward by Wiwanitkit et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>] and Shi et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>], discuss the potential risks of H7N9 infection by spatio-temporal characterisation of bird migration and poultry distribution, and estimation of the basic reproduction number for single-strain dengue fever epidemics. The epidemic of H7N9 avian influenza A in the eastern part of P.R. China in early 2013 caused much attention from researchers as well as public health workers, and modelling of its transmission risk resulted in guidelines for active surveillance and control of human influenza infections through intensive intervention in poultry markets. In their article pertaining to dengue transmission by estimating the basic reproduction number for single-strain dengue fever epidemics, researchers from Pakistan did a retrospective analysis of the 2011 epidemic in that region [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec10"><title>Application of more sensitive diagnostics</title><p>Use of new technologies supported by mobile or other improved electronic-based approaches and more sensitive diagnostic tools, necessary for settings chosen for elimination, were identified as a key research priority in the First <italic>Forum on Surveillance Response System Leading to Tropical Disease Elimination</italic> in June 2012 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. No-cost social media (Weibo) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>] and mobile phones [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>] were employed in two studies to evaluate reactions of the general public with regard to infectious diseases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>].</p><p>Applications of new molecular diagnostic tests characterised by a high sensitivity, such as the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), for real-time diagnosis of malaria infections in a rural or urban high/low transmission setting are recommended in the report of the <italic>Second Forum on Surveillance Response System Leading to Tropical Disease Elimination</italic> of June 2014 (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://srs.ipd.org.cn:8080/srs/node/9">http://srs.ipd.org.cn:8080/srs/node/9</ext-link>). Meanwhile, the serological markers for monitoring of <italic>Plasmodium vivax</italic> transmission in the elimination stage were identified by means of a high throughput analysis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>] to develop more sensitive and convenient diagnostics.</p></sec><sec id="Sec11"><title>Drug resistance and prevention</title><p>To promote the rational use of antimalarial drugs and strengthen malaria control and elimination, established drug resistance and surveillance of antimalarial drug resistance in P.R. China in the 1980s and 1990s have now been documented, including the formulation of principles and recommendations of therapeutic regimens for the use of antimalarial drugs (artemisinin/pyronaridine compounds) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. To identify an antifilarial drug target, <italic>in vitro</italic> ‘gene silencing’ of independent phosphoglyceratemutase (iPGM) in the filarial parasite <italic>B. malayi</italic> was performed by Singh et al., whose work suggests that iPGM is essential for both larval and adult stages of <italic>B. malayi</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>].</p><p>Dr. William H. Stewart, United States Surgeon General from 1965 to 1969, has been maligned for the statement: “It is time to close the book on infectious diseases, and declare the war against pestilence won”. It must be noted, however, that recent investigations fail to find any evidence for him ever having said this [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. More importantly, in retrospect, emerging new infections and the ever-increasing problems of resistance against available antibiotics clearly shows that now is not the time to close the book on infectious dieases.</p></sec><sec id="Sec12"><title>Socioeconomics and infectious diseases</title><p>Among the 22 articles pertaining to surveillance-response systems for elimination of tropical diseases, four are associated with socioeconomic factors in measuring health determinants. Data from social media (Weibo) and mobile phones were analysed in two studies to better understand reactions of the general public to infectious diseases. One study, carried out by Fung et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>], revealed that Weibo (microblogs freely published through the Internet), proved useful to measure the Chinese people’s reactions with respect to two different outbreaks, namely the 2012 MERS-CoV outbreak [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>] and the 2013 outbreak of H7N9 avian influenza A [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>]. Hence, the results suggest that Weibo could be a useful measure to raise public awareness by having health authorities release disease outbreak information <italic>via</italic> Weibo.</p><p>Kliner et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>] used a no-cost mobile phone agreement to send outpatient reminders for HIV testing and counselling in a pilot study in rural Swaziland, and found that mobile technology leading towards the concept of mobile health (mHealth) can be useful in many ways, initially by improving attendance at outpatient service clinics. Work stemming from Nigeria assessed household payments for TB with regard to incidence, determinants and policy implications for universal health coverage. The results suggest that current health cost-lowering strategies in Nigeria are not sufficient to prevent households from incurring catastrophic out-of-pocket payments for TB care [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. To assess resources for the use of community-directed interventions (CDI), another study from Nigeria investigated delivery of health interventions in poorly-served urban communities in Ibadan. The research support the feasibility of using the CDI process in delivering health interventions in urban, poor environments and shows that resources for the strategy were potentially abound in the communities.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec13"><title>Visibility</title><sec id="Sec14"><title>Scope and transdisciplinary nature of the work</title><p>Five articles reported on the estimation of disease burdens by measuring the impact of diseases at the local, national and global levels.

China in order to examine challenges to its elimination [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>], while another discussed a global approach to rabies elimination emphasising the efforts needed to strengthen research and control activities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>].</p><p>Qian et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>] provided a concerted opinion on the tackling of clonorchiasis in P.R. China, while a review commented on the epidemiological status and characteristics of the disease at the global level and the aetiological relationship between cholangiocarcinoma and this infection [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>]. The significance for clonorchiasis control and research priorities in P.R. China have been emphasised according to the pattern of recent epidemics and trend analyses in two papers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>].</p><p>TB at the wildlife-livestock-human interface in Zambia was reviewed by Malama et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>], who called attention to the complex connection between the burden of animal <italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</italic> infections and its public health implications. The review pertaining to the epidemiology and interactions of HIV-1 and <italic>S. mansoni</italic> in sub-Saharan Africa indicates that <italic>S. mansoni</italic> infections can influence the replication of HIV-1 and deworming of HIV-positive individuals living in endemic areas, as it may impact on HIV-1 viral loads and CD4<sup>+</sup>T lymphocyte counts [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>].</p><p>Four research articles discuss the role of governments in disease endemic-countries and encourage cooperation in the field of zoonotic diseases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. Another investigation highlights the collaboration between various governmental ministries as well as among medical and veterinary doctors by employing the “One World – One Health” concept [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec15"><title>Innovative technology</title><p>Surveillance-response approaches regarding tropical diseases in resource-constrained settings are increasingly applied in endemic countries with ongoing control and elimination programmes. Articles targeting such issues, taking into account environmental changes, social determinants and health systems considerations are in the limelight of the collection reviewed here. Indeed, among the 22 contributions, three have been viewed over 10,000 times within 4 months, 15 months and 22 months, respectively, after their publication [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. The development of an innovative modelling approach entitled “Inferring the potential risks of H7N9 infection by spatiotemporally characterising bird migration and poultry distribution in eastern China”, had the most views (14,904; accessed on 31 August 2015). Research on the social factors affecting the spread of infectious diseases entitled “Chinese social media reaction to the MERS-CoV and avian influenza A (H7N9) outbreaks” followed with 11,759 views.</p><p>In summary, it is fair to say that the importance of surveillance-response systems, representing the final crucial steps towards achieving effective control and elimination of communicable diseases, caused more attention than any other papers in this thematic issue of <italic>Infectious Diseases of Poverty</italic>.</p><p>In our analysis on the breadth and depth of the 22 contributions, we found that Chinese authors are becoming increasingly active with respect to control and elimination of tropical diseases. In concurrence with patterns recently published by Utzinger et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>] and Bergquist et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>], the application of surveillance-response systems have developed into a necessary and sustainable part of the Chinese national disease control and elimination programmes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>].</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec16"><title>Conclusions</title><p>Among the original research articles providing the core of this collection, seven research priorities emerged: (i) dynamic mapping of the transmission potential of various diseases; (ii) providing tools in near real-time capture of population dynamics; (iii) modelling based on minimum, essential databases; (iv) implementation of mHealth; (v) development of sensitive diagnostics; (vi) design of response packages tailored to different transmission settings and levels; and (vii) validation of surveillance and responses packages.</p><p>Through development and application of surveillance-response systems as part of the national diseases control and elimination programmes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>], P.R. China is becoming an important player in the area of the control and elimination of tropical diseases. It is in this connection essential that P.R. China, as one of the major contributors to the expansion of global health programmes, translates its experience into research and control of infectious diseases of poverty in places where these diseases are still widespread, including parts of P.R. China itself.</p></sec></body><back><app-group><app id="App1"><sec id="Sec17"><title>Additional files</title><p><media position="anchor" xlink:href="40249_2016_144_MOESM1_ESM.pdf" id="MOESM1"><label>Additional file 1:</label><caption><p>Multilingual abstracts in the six official working languages of the United Nations.
