[Surveillance and risk assessment system of schistosomiasis epidemic focus in Hankou marshland of Wuhan City].

Objective: To construct a monitoring and risk assessment system of schistosomiasis epidemic focus in marshland, so as to grasp the risk of schistosomiasis transmission, and to provide the technical support for targeted prevention and control measures.

Methods: The crowd and the risk source of schistosomiasis in Hankou marshland in Wuhan City were monitored to grasp the risk factors of schistosomiasis. The risk level was evaluated by the three-dimensional risk matrix and three-dimensional visualization method.

[Practice of engineering management and its effect on schistosomiasis control in Hankou marshland, Wuhan City].

Objective: To investigate the snail control effect of schistosomiasis control engineering in marshland within Wuhan City.

Methods: The engineering measures including surface barrier removal, molluscicide, flatting surface, topsoil stripping, topsoil covering and ditch renovation were applied to transform Hankou marshland. Then the corresponding technical parameters of engineering measures were put forward.

New strategies to improve the health of Chinese people by 2030.

In October 2016, the leadership team of the Communist Party of China (CPC) adopted a plan aiming to build a healthy China over the next 15 years. The strategic tasks, mainly focused on promoting healthy lifestyles, optimising health services, improving health protection, building a healthy environment and developing the health industry, were proposed to deal with the health problems faced by China. According to the plan, China's health plan is likely to undergo a major change.

Establishment of first engineering specifications for environmental modification to eliminate schistosomiasis epidemic foci in urban areas.

Snail control is a key link in schistosomiasis control, but no unified methods for eliminating snails have been produced to date. This study was conducted to explore an engineering method for eliminating Oncomelania hupensis applicable to urban areas. The engineering specifications were established using the Delphi method.
