Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemic situation of schistosomiasis in Wuhu County from 2012 to 2016,so as to pro-vide the reference for adjusting the control strategy. Methods The data of schistosomiasis prevention and control in Wuhu County from 2012 to 2016 were collected and longitudinally analyzed. Results Since 2013,the average infection rate of schisto-somiasis in the population decreased year by year,and the infection rate decreased to 0 in 2016. Since 2012,the infection rate of livestock was 0. The area with Oncomelania hupensis snails decreased year by year,but it drastically rebounded in 2016. No schistosome-infected snails were found since 2012. Conclusions Schistosomiasis epidemic is effectively controlled in Wuhu County,but there is a possibility of recovery.
