ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the dynamics of the reinfection of Schistosoma japonicum and related risk factors among the people in schistosomiasis endemic areas in China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Literature retrieval was conducted by using databases of PubMed, CNKI,VIP and Wanfang to collected all the data about the human re-infection of Schistosoma japonicum and related risk factors in the endemic areas in China. And a Mata-analysis was conducted on the literatures met the inclusion standards.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Eighteen studies involving 12 604 people for infection survey and 3 128 people for re-infection survey were included in the analysis. The overall infection rate was 20.8%, and the overall re-infection rate was 21.0% . The difference had no statistical significance (Z = 1.12, P = 0.26). The re-infection related factors included baseline infection intensity (OR = 3.58, 95% CI 1.56-8.22); the index of contaminated water OR = 2.37, 95% CI 1.08-5.22); distance from house to river-side (OR = 1.72, 95% CI 0.41-7.30) and age (OR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.19-1.23).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The baseline infection intensity, the index of contaminated water and distance from house to river-side were the risk factors related to the re-infection of Schistosoma japonicum and age was a protective factor.</p>
