Abstract:
Objective To establish a monitoring database of historical Oncomelania hupensis environments at grass?root lev?el for schistosomiasis prevention based on Google Earth(GE),so as to improve the management efficiency of historical O. hu?pensis environments. Methods GE was labeled with the information about the historical O. hupensis environments through add?ing landmark,path and polygon. Meanwhile,POCO web album was used to storage the practice situation pictures of the environ?ments,which could be imported into GE so that the environments could be monitored dynamically. Results There were 553 historical O. hupensis snail environments in Yangjian Town,Xishan District,Wuxi City and the accumulative area was 506 000 m2. Among these environments,224(40.5%)were Class IV environments,accounting for 40.5%of accumulative area. Conclu?sions The monitoring database of historical O. hupensis environments based on GE at country level is established successfully and it can be used to manage the historical snail environments visually and monitor the changes dynamically.
