Results Among 63 schistosomiasis endemic counties cities districts of Hubei Province there were 26 independent schistosomiasis control institutions 41.27% there were 24 institutions which were incorporated in-to CDC 38.10% and there were no institutions in 13 counties 20.63% . Among 518 endemic towns there were 299 institu-tions 57.72% . The total staffing size were 1 932 but there were 1 586 82.09% people actually working in the post and therefore there were 346 17.91% empty positions. The average rates of carrying out the six functions were 91.48%-71.19%but only 19.23%of the institutions participated in the comprehensive schistosomiasis control management project and its effect assessment.
