  • The study aimed to analyze the changes in intestinal parasitic diseases in Jiangxi Province from 1989 to 2014 to inform prevention strategies.
  • Data was collected from national surveys in 1989 and 2014, revealing an 87.89% decline in the prevalence of human intestinal parasites, from 79.59% to 9.64%.
  • The findings showed that while the number of parasite species decreased, soil-transmitted nematodes remained the most common parasites, with higher prevalence rates in females across all age groups.

Soil transmitted helminths (STHs) burden was enormous in China several decades ago, however, rigorous control efforts have been successful with appreciable reduction in diseases burden. Here, we assessed provincial-level data derived from cross sectional surveys, executed in 1989, 2002 and 2014, on the prevalence of STHs among populations in Jiangxi province, China. This study, also, reported STHs integrated control intervention aimed at reducing STHs transmission and worm burden among population at county-level.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to analyze soil-transmitted nematode infections in Jiangxi Province between 1989 and 2014, using data from three epidemiological surveys and stool examinations.
  • The results showed a dramatic decrease in overall infection rates by 91.89%, with significant reductions in various types of nematodes, although females generally had higher infection rates than males across different ages and ecological districts.
  • Despite the overall decline in infections, soil-transmitted nematodes remained the most common intestinal parasite, affecting mainly rural females and the elderly population.

Objective: To investigate the endemic situation of human infection in Nanchang City in 2014 and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide the evidence for control measures.

Methods: The high-risk population of infection in Nanchang City was collected as an experiment group, and a control group was settled with the ratio of 1∶1. The serum tests and epidemiology surveys were conducted simultaneously, and the influencing factors were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzes the prevalence and control of schistosomiasis in Jiangxi Province from 2002 to 2012, noting significant control achievements over the decade.
  • The number of counties achieving transmission interruption increased, and infections in both humans and cattle decreased notably, indicating effective control measures.
  • By 2008, Jiangxi met criteria for endemic control, with stable low levels of infection and decreased snail populations contributing to the control of the disease.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the Three Gorges Project has altered the hydrological regime of Poyang Lake between 2002 and 2012 and its effect on schistosomiasis prevalence nearby.
  • Results show that after the project, water levels in Poyang Lake were lower throughout the year, leading to a significant decrease in schistosomiasis infection rates among humans (92.65%) and bovines (76.37%), as well as a 94.21% reduction in Oncomelania snail populations.
  • The findings indicate that the changed water conditions contributed to lower snail densities and reduced schistosomiasis prevalence, complemented by enhanced control efforts in the area.
