Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of integrated schistosomiasis control measures in Honghu City during the period from 2008 through 2018.

Methods: The data pertaining to schistosomiasis control measures and the endemic situation of schistosomiasis in Honghu City were collected from 2008 to 2018, and the effect of integrated schistosomiasis control measures implemented was evaluated.

Results: The resources from agriculture, water resources, forestry, land, education and communication sectors were integrated to implement the integrated schistosomiasis control strategy with the focus on the control of source of Schistosoma japonicum infection in Honghu City from 2008 to 2018. The prevalence of S. japonicum infection reduced from 3.03% in 2008 to 0 in 2018 in humans in the city, and no acute infection was detected since 2009. In addition, the prevalence of S. japonicum infection in cattle reduced from 2.85% in 2008 to 0 in 2018, and no snail infection was found since 2012. Transmission control of schistosomiasis was achieved in the city in 2013, and transmission interruption was achieved in 2018.

Conclusions: The integrated schistosomiasis control measures achieve remarkable effects in Honghu City; however, there is still a risk of schistosomiasis transmission.
