However,after 2011,no infected living snails were found. The positive rate of blood tests was 9.46%and schistosomiasis infection rate was 7.36%in 2005,and the posi-tive rate of blood tests was 3.27%and schistosomiasis infection rate was 0.57%in 2013. There were 7 cases of acute schistosomia-sis in 2004 and 2005,respectively,and there were no acute schistosomiasis patients after 2006.
