Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the prevalence of infections among specific populations in Nanjing City, focusing on groups like HIV/AIDS patients, tumor patients, pregnant women, and individuals involved in livestock processing.
  • Data was collected from September to November 2015, utilizing venous blood samples to detect antibodies, yielding an overall infection prevalence of 10.2%.
  • Results indicated that men had a higher infection rate (15.3%) compared to women (5.8%), with significant differences observed based on gender, education, and occupation; hence, the study suggests enhanced health education interventions for these populations.

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.

Objective: To understand the changes of hydrological regime in the Yangtze River and schistosomiasis endemic situation in Nanjing City after the implementation of Three Gorges Project.

Methods: The data of hydrological regime of the Yangtze River, schistosomiasis epidemic situation, and Oncomelania hupensis snail status were collected and analyzed in Nanjing City from 2002 to 2012.

Results: After the implementation of the Three Gorges Project in 2003, the water level of the Yangtze River slightly rose from January to April, the average water levels in May and August both reduced compared with those in 2002, and the time of water withdrawal was moved up.

Objective: To explore and integrate the key techniques used in the surveillance and forecast of schistosomiasis in the water regions along the Yangtze River, so as to provide technical support for identifying rapidly the risk of schistosomiasis transmission and implementing control measures targeting the risk.

Methods: According to the distribution of water systems and water regions along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, the demonstration sites for surveillance and forecast of schistosomiasis were set across the province, where the integration and demonstration of the techniques regarding monitoring of Schistosoma japonicum infection in sentinel mice, human and animal activities, release of forecast information, and emergency treatment of water regions at risk of infection were performed. The pattern of human and animal activities was compared with the S.

Objective: To establish the surveillance and risk assessment system of schistosomiasis in Jiangsu Province, so as to provide technical support for timely understanding of the risk of schistosomiasis transmission and implementation of targeted control measures.

Methods: The surveillance sites of schistosomiasis were assigned according to the epidemic status and endemic type of schistosomiasis as well as the characteristics of the water system, and the prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum in humans and domestic animals, and snail status were investigated. In addition, the quality control of serum detection of S.

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.
