ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the schistosomiasis epidemic and control history in Jingxi City,so as to provide the ev-idence for improving the future work. Methods The data of schistosomiasis prevention and control work were collected and ana-lyzed comprehensively in Jingxi City from 1956-2015. Results From 1956,the schistosomiasis prevention and control work car-ried out,and in 1985,Jingxi City reached the standard of schistosomiasis transmission interrupted and no local schistosome in-fected residents and livestock were found for 36 years. In May 2016,the city reached the national standard of Schistosomiasis Elimination Assessment Review. The cumulative number of schistosomiasis detection of residents was 348801 person-times, and 10434 schistosomiasis patients were found. The cumulative number of schistosomiasis detection of cattle was 20674 head-times,and 590 schistosome infected cattle were found. The cumulative schistosomiasis treatment number of residents was 18739 per-son-times,and 512 cattle were treated. The cumulative detection area with Oncomelania hupensis was 65213.25 hm2 ,and 353.80 hm2 area with O. hupensis snails was found. Conclusions Jingxi City has reached the standard of schistosomiasis elimi-nation,but there is still recurrence of O. hupensis snails,and the imported infection source exists. Therefore,we should strength-en the monitoring of floating population.
