This study reports the etiological identification, clinical diagnosis, and the results of the local epidemiological surveillance of the first case of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection in 2014 in Hunan Province, China. The infected patient was isolated and closely monitored. The virus is a member of the Bunyaviridae sandfly family and is characterized by real-time PCR, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and whole-genome sequencing.

Objective: To understand the changes of schistosomiasis epidemic situation, so as to provide the evidence for formulating schistosomiasis control strategy in the Hexi reservoir area.
Methods: From 2012 to 2015, Xinyuan Village, Meishan Town in the north entrance of Hexi reservoir was selected as a monitoring site. According to the requirements of the monitoring program of schistosomiasis surveillance in Zhejiang Province, the infection was investigated by using the serological screening (IHA), and the basic situation of the surveillance site was also investigated.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the distribution and movement of Oncomelania hupensis snails in the Hexi Reservoir and examine the effectiveness of the schistosomiasis control measures implemented there.
- - Researchers used straw curtains and fishing nets across various areas of the main drainages to collect data, finding 37 snails in one stream but none in other salvaged areas.
- - Results indicate that while control efforts are effective in reducing snail spread, surveillance and control measures must be enhanced, especially since snails were still present upstream.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control projects in Hexi Reservoir on Oncomelania hupensis snail control.
Methods: The canal hardening + main water system widening + the overflow dam project, the concrete slope protection, the banking and reclamation + concrete slope protection project, the environment reform project, and the comprehensive treatment were implemented in the tail area, the hydro-fluctuation belt, the rainwater harvesting zoon of the upstream area, the dam area, and the downstream area of the reservoir, respectively. The changes of the snail situation were investigated before and after the construction of the reservoir, and the snail control effects of the schistosomiasis control projects in different parts of the reservoir were analyzed.
