Earthquake is a serious natural disaster. The earthquake that occurs in schistosomiasis-endemic areas not only causes direct human and economic losses, but also induces secondary disasters that greatly threaten public health safety in affected areas. This paper analyzed the impact of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and 2013 Lushan Earthquake on schistosomiasis transmission in Sichuan Province, and proposed emergency measures and assessment activitiesresponding to schistosomiasis following earthquake disasters. The experiences from schistosomiasis control after two earthquake disasters in Sichuan Province may provide insights into the emergency control in other regions or after other natural disasters.
[摘要] 地震是一种重大自然灾害。而发生于血吸虫病流行区的地震, 不仅造成直接的人员经济损失, 更带来严重威胁 灾区公共卫生安全的次生灾害。本文针对 2008 年四川省发生的“5·12”汶川特大地震及 2013 年“4·20”芦山强烈地震, 分 析了地震灾害对血吸虫病传播和流行以及当地血吸虫病防控工作的影响, 提出了地震灾后血吸虫病应急处置措施及相 关评估工作建议。四川省两次地震灾后的血吸虫病防控经验,可为其他地区或其他自然灾害后的血吸虫病应急防控工 作提供借鉴和帮助。.
