Abstract:
The surveillance of schistosomiasis in Sanzhou Village, Dantu District, Zhenjiang City, a national schistosomiasis surveillance site, showed that in 2008, the area with snails was 27 hm~2, among which the area with infected snails was 14 hm~2, the densities of living snails and infected snails were 0. 86 and 0.002 1 snails/0. 1 m~2, respectively. The infection rate of snails was 0.25% , the positive rate of IHA was 3. 10% and the infection rate of schistosome in human populations was 1%. There were no infected domestic animals found, and there were no acute schistosomiasis and newly advanced schistosomiasis cases found in the surveillance site in 2008. It is indicated that the endemic situation of schistosomiasis is stable. The comprehensive control, including molluciciding and environmental modification, should be implemented for snail control. The comprehensive measures with emphasis on infectious source control should be further strengthened.
