Abstract

Schistosomiasis is one of the key diseases of surveillance and prevention in China. The elimination of schistosomiasis is of great significance to people's health and social economy. With the development of spatial epidemiology, progress has been made in the spatial distribution of schistosomiasis, the prediction of spatial and temporal trends, and analysis of the environmental factors. This paper reviews the application of spatial epidemiology in the control and prevention of schistosomiasis and introduces the spatio-temporal distribution methods, spatial model, and application of remote sensing technology.

[摘要] 血吸虫病是我国重点防控的重大疾病之一, 消除血吸虫病对于保障人民健康、促进社会经济发展有重要意义。随着空间流行病学的发展, 血吸虫病空间分布描述、时空趋势预测、环境影响因素分析等方面取得了长足进步。本文综述了空间流行病学在血吸虫病防控中的应用, 对血吸虫病时空分布、空间模型和遥感技术的应用等方面进行了阐述。.
