Abstract
Japan controlled its major parasitic diseases by the 1970s. Based on this experience, the Government of Japan proposed the Global Parasite Control Initiative in 1998 and established three research and training centres around the world. The Asian Centre of International Parasite Control (ACIPAC) is the first such centre, and completed five years of activities focused on school-health-based parasite control in the Greater Mekong Subregion in 2005. The lessons learned and experiences gained by ACIPAC should be applied to all health promotion programmes worldwide.
