Aquaculture is not without its environmental risks, including the possibility of increased transmission of waterborne diseases, such as schistosomiasis. With this in mind, a meeting was held in the Philippines in 1991 involving USAID grantees working in aquaculture and schistosomiasis. A total of 26 papers from the meeting are presented here. The 15 aquaculture papers cover a range of topics, including 3 on technology, 4 on propagation, 2 on nutrition, 4 on DNA and genetics, and 2 on ecology and the environment. Likewise, the 11 papers on schistosomiasis cover diverse topics, including 4 on immunology, 2 on epidemiology or biology, and 5 on biocontrol. None of the papers address both aquaculture and schistosomiasis, because the USAID grants did not overlap both study areas. However, participants at the meeting formulated and compiled a list of 35 recommendations relevant to future research, including four that specifically propose work involving both study areas.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
