The earliest investigations of parasitic diseases in China occurred in the 1870s and began with the work done by some foreign doctors studying Chinese customs, e.g., Monson’s discovery in Xiamen of China in 1877, reporting for the first time that the mosquito was the intermediate host and vector of Wuchereria bancrofti . Later, more foreign doctors from missionary hospitals setting up mainly in the trading ports, turned to the study of pathogenic parasites, among whom the outstanding representative was Maxwell, who published a book giving a full account of the state of parasitic diseases in China at that time. After 1920, Faust and other foreign parasitologists came to China and continued investigations of parasitic diseases involving filariasis, schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis, fascio-liasis and some protozoan infections, started by foreign doctors in customs and missionary hospitals. Around 1930, a little number of Chinese scholars made very important contributions to the early development of parasitology in China. It was obvious that after 1930, Chinese investigators had gradually replaced foreign doctors and scholars to become the main body of researchers in parasitology in China. Unfortunately, further development in this field was retarded until the mid 20th century, owing to the absence of funding and professionals resulting from neglect by the government of prerevolutionary China
