Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of an integrated control strategy on the distribution of infected snails in Anxiang county from 2004 to 2010, highlighting the influence of spatial factors.
- Results showed a significant decrease in both the number of infected snail embankments and the infection rate in those areas, indicating that the control measures were effective in reducing schistosomiasis risk.
- The analysis revealed nonrandom spatial patterns and a reduction in high-risk areas, suggesting that better resource allocation could further enhance the effectiveness of schistosomiasis control efforts.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze changes in river water bodies and Oncomelania snail habitats using China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite-02 images from Anxiang County.
- The research involved collecting images over several months in 2004 and extracting water body data using the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to determine water area sizes.
- Findings revealed seasonal trends, with a larger water area in summer (July) and a smaller area in winter (April), confirming wet and dry seasons in June and April respectively, highlighting the satellite's usefulness for monitoring water changes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution and patterns of advanced schistosomiasis in Anxiang County to improve control strategies.
- Using geographic data, researchers conducted spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial scan statistics to examine distribution characteristics at the village level.
- Findings revealed no overall spatial autocorrelation, but identified significant local clusters in nine villages, indicating patterns that suggest targeted resource allocation for effective schistosomiasis control.
