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.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a comprehensive schistosomiasis control strategy based on buffalo removal in a lake and marshland region.
Methods: A community intervention trial was carried out in seven pilot villages and seven control villages along Dongting Lake in Anxiang County, Hunan Province. Besides annual routine control measures such as synchronous chemotherapy, molluscicidal spray and health education, all buffaloes and sheep were killed or removed from the pilot areas in 2005, of which the effect was strengthened by other supporting measures such as replacing bovines by agricultural machines, isolating meadows and prohibiting pastures, supplying safe water, and building sanitary lavatories or methane pits.
