Abstract:
Objective To understand the situation of imported schistosomiasis in non?endemic areas along the Yangtze Riv?er in Changshu City,so as to provide the evidence for formulating and adjusting control measures. Methods The data of Onco?melania hupensis snails and schistosomiasis patients in Changshu City from 2006 to 2015 were collected and analyzed. Re?sults Totally 1 650 residents of Changshu City were tested by serum tests from 2006 to 2015,and 35 cases were positive,with a positive rate of 2.12%. No positive cases were found in etiological tests. No O. hupensis snails were found.
