Abstract

Oncomelania hupensis is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum, and O. hupensis control is an important measure for schistosomiasis control. With the progress of national schistosomiasis control program, the prevalence of schistosomiasis is low in China; however, there are still multiple challenges for O. hupensis breeding and schistosomiasis transmission risk. Considering the target of the national schistosomiasis elimination program and environmental protection in the new era, the introduction of precision identification, precision interventions and precision assessment into O. hupensis control may facilitate the progress towards elimination of schistosomiasis in China.

[摘要] 钉螺是日本血吸虫的唯一中间宿主, 钉螺控制是血吸虫 病防治的重要措施之一。随着防治进程推进, 我国血吸虫病呈低 水平流行状态, 但钉螺孳生和血吸虫病传播风险依然严峻。在新 时期血吸虫病防治目标和环境保护等要求下, 在钉螺控制中引入 精准识别、精准干预和精准评价, 巩固现有防治成效, 将有助于推 进我国消除血吸虫病进程。.
