Current prevalence situation and control strategy of schistosomiasis in Yunnan Province

To evaluate the current prevalence situation of schistosomiasis in Yunnan Province, so as to provide the evidence for making further control strategy.The data of schistosomiasis were collected and analyzed statistically in Yunnan Province in 2014.There were 7 transmission controlled counties and 11 interrupted counties in Yunnan Province in 2014, and Oncomelania hupensis snails were not found in 5 of the 11 interrupted counties for at least 5 years. In the transmission controlled areas, the schistosomiasis endemic villages, population, farm cattle, and snail areas accounted for 80.94%, 83.72%, 79.32% and 82.00% of whole schistosomiasis endemic areas in Yunnan Province, respectively. The infection source was not completely eliminated.In the transmission controlled areas, the elimination of infection source should still be strengthened; in the transmission interrupted areas, the import infection sources should be prevented.
