Methods Field investigation was conducted in the suburb of Shanghai City by screening the mobile population living in Shanghai for more than 1 month and over 1 years old in a procedure of interviewing, serum indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test, and then fecal examination to detect the eggs with nylon sedimentation approach for those IHA positives. Results Among 2 931 mobile people investigated, 1 575 were male (53.74%) and 1 356 were female(46.26%); 138 out of 2 931 were positive in IHA test (4.71%). 1 938 (66.12%) out of 2 931 came from Schistosoma japonicum-endemic provinces and its positive rate in mobile population (5.99%) was significantly higher than those from the transmission-interrupted provinces (2.6%) (?2=10.28, P
