Methods The endemic data of schistosomiasis of Gaoy?ou City from 1970 to 2009 were collected to analyze the endemic patterns of schistosomiasis in different control stages compre?hensively. Results In the first years of infection control stage(1970-1975),transmission control stage(1976-1994)and transmission interruption stage(1995-2009),the prevalence rates of schistosomiasis were 4.20%,0.80%and 0 in human and 3.00%,0.51%and 0 in cattle respectively. In 1984,the positive rate of crowd stool tests fell to 0.04%,which was reduced by 99.05%compared with that in 1970. From 1970 to 1980,the positive rates of stool tests of people and livestock were positively correlated significantly(r=0.67,P<0.05). After 1985,no local infection patients or cattle were found. No schistosome infect?ed Oncomelania hupensis snails were found from 1970 to 2009.
