This paper explores the influence of rural-to-urban migration on infectious disease epidemiology and control policies in China. The findings indicate that migration has a profound impact on the distribution of airborne, blood-borne, sexually transmitted, and mosquito-borne infectious diseases in China and influences potential control strategies. The authors conclude by calling for more responsive vaccination systems and infectious disease control policies and programs for Chinese migrants in order to achieve health equity.
