Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the characteristics of water contact among residents in Poyang Lake, where schistosomiasis is common, following the Three Gorges Project.
- A survey revealed that 69.77% of residents had infested water contact, predominantly during spring, summer, and autumn, with activities like fishing and swimming contributing most to exposure.
- The findings indicate a shift in exposure activities, with fishing becoming the main activity linked to infested water contacts, while traditional activities like farming are now less frequent.
