[Evaluation of implementation effect of schistosomiasis control program in Jiangsu Province from 2010 to 2015].

Objective: To evaluate the actual effect of the schistosomiasis control program in Jiangsu Province from 2010 to 2015.

Methods: A total of 67 schistosomiasis-endemic counties in 10 cities were selected, and a combination of retrospective investigation and on-site investigation was adopted to collect and record the epidemic data of the counties from 2010 to 2015, and a retrospective survey database of epidemic situation was established. The effects of integrated control strategies with both snail control and infection source control were evaluated.

[Survey of schistosomiasis KAP and influencing factors of behaviors among residents in Jiangsu Province].

Objective: To understand the schistosomiasis control knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP), and influencing factors of behaviors among residents in Jiangsu Province, so as to provide the evidence for making effective health education and health promotion models.

Methods: The probability proportionate to size sampling (PPS) and multi-stage sampling methods were adopted to sample the research objects. A questionnaire survey of schistosomiasis control KAP was conducted in the residents of 16 to 69 years old in schistosomiasis endemic areas of Jiangsu Province, and the results were statistically analyzed.

[Establishment and application of quality control system for detection of schistosomiasis in Jiangsu Province I ability of serological detection among county-level personnel].

Objective: To evaluate the ability for serological screening of schistosomiasis among county-level personnel, so as to provide the evidence for establishing the quality control system of field detection of schistosomiasis.

Methods: The standard serum panel was prepared for the quality assessment of schistosomiasis diagnostic capability, and detected by county-level personnel in the endemic field simultaneously using single-blind method. The rates of coincidence, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis were calculated compared with the standard results.

[Surveillance of schistosomiasis in Jiangsu Province, China, 2005-2010].

Objective: To understand the endemic situation of national surveillance sites in Jiangsu Province from 2005 to 2010, so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and control of schistosomiasis.

Methods: According to the national surveillance protocol, a longitudinal surveillance on endemic situation of schistosomiasis was carried out in 8 national surveillance sites from 2005 to 2010.

Results: In general, the positive rates of blood tests and infection rates of Schistosoma japonicum decreased from 9.

[Strategy of comprehensive control for schistosomiasis and its effect in key areas of Jiangsu Province].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of comprehensive control for schistosomiasis in key areas of Jiangsu Province.

Methods: The basic data and the data of implementation of comprehensive control measures were collected from the key areas of Jiangsu Province, including 30 townships, 87 marshlands and 78 anchor points. A field survey was carried out to investigate the Oncomelania snail status by using the systematic sampling method and schistosomiasis morbidity in humans and animals in the 12 key counties (districts).

[Surveillance and forecast system of schistosomiasis in Jiangsu Province V monitoring of infectivity of Schistosoma japonicum miracidia of Yangtze River].

Objective: To establish an approach to monitor the Schistosoma japonicum miracidia in waterbody of the Yangtze River, and monitor the infectivity of water body, so as to provide the evidence for tracing and controlling infection source and interrupting the transmission of schistosomiasis, and Oncomelania snail control.

Methods: The floating bottle-nylon bag sentinel snails method was employed. A total of 45 surveillance sites were selected along the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, 500 snails were placed into each site from May to September, once every month.

[Technology of preventing Oncomelania snail diffusion in east route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project. I. Field test of blocking diffusion of Oncomelania snails with blocking network via collecting water from middle layer].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of blocking diffusion of Oncomelania snails with the blocking network via collecting water from middle layer.

Methods: According to the principle of the installation preventing snails via collecting water from middle layer without snails, the blocking network was manufactured. The field test of the blocking diffusion of snails with the blocking network was carried out in the electric pumping station and the irrigation located in the area with snails.

Effectiveness of a comprehensive schistosomiasis japonica control program in Jiangsu province, China, from 2005 to 2008.

The effectiveness of a comprehensive schistosomiasis japonica control program implemented in 8 villages along the Yangtze river in Jiangsu province from 2005 to 2008 was studied. Control measures included snail control, chemotherapy of humans and livestock, health education, and transmission cycle interruption using sanitation in dwellings and at anchorage sites for fishermen and sailors. The Schistosoma japonicum prevalence among residents and livestock, the total area of snail habitats, the Oncomelania hupensis snail density, and the percentage of infected snails served as indicators for the effectiveness of the control efforts.
