RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the situation of realizing schistosomiasis transmission control in Jiangxi Province. METHODS: The situation of reaching the criteria of schistosomiasis transmission control was evaluated by using the method of field surveys combined with retrospective investigations. RESULTS: The schistosome infection in human was kept at a stable low level, and the infection rate in residents was below 1% in 90.24% (536/594) of whole epidemic controlled villages. There were 45 spots with schistosome infected Oncomelania hupensis snails in 38 pieces of marshland. The epidemic situation in livestock showed less optimistic than that in human, and the infection rate in bovine was higher than 1% in 19.87% (118/594) of the whole epidemic controlled villages. CONCLUSIONS: Currently, the prevalence of schistosomiasis is at a low level in 9 infection-controlled counties of Jiangxi Province. More favorable situation has emerged to the realization of schistosomiasis transmission control. However, it is necessary to strengthen the infectious sources control with emphasis on bovine so as to achieve the goal of transmission control in whole province in 2015.
