Methods Since 1995,the integrated strategy has been carried out for intestinal nematodiasis,and the measures included deworming,health ed?ucation,safe water,sanitation and environmental remediation. The effects of the integrated strategy were evaluated by the inves?tigations of the prevalence of soil?transmitted nematodiasis,awareness of health knowledge and behaviors of residents.

The popularity rate of harmless toilets was 92.77%. The prevalence of intestinal nematodiasis decreased from 26.04%in 1995 to 0.56%in 2014,and the difference had statistical significance(χ2=693.54,P < 0.01). The awareness rate of health knowledge and correct rate of health behaviors increased from 43.13% and 40.94%in 1995 to 98.00%and 96.80%in 2012,respectively(χ2=181.97 and 182.14 respectively,P<0.01).
