The “One Belt and One Road” initiative raises new requirements on international education of China’s colleges and universities. For historical and cultural reasons, colleges and universities in China are facing both opportunities and challenges in human parasitology teaching for Bachelor of Medicine-Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students. We shall keep up with the pace of the time, and provide education with Chinese characteristics by expanding and changing our teaching ideas. Under the guidance of the “Belt and Road” initiative, we shall continuously develop the education and teaching of human parasitology for international MBBS students, improve international competitiveness and influence, promote the international process of China’s education and teaching of human parasitology and make a contribution to the higher education and teaching of China.
