[Observation on comprehensive control strategy for schistosomiasis with emphasis on infectious source control in Poyang Lake areas from 2009 to 2014].

Objective: To evaluate the long-term effect of the comprehensive control strategy for schistosomiasis with emphasis on infectious source control in marshland-type endemic areas of Poyang Lake.

Methods: Three heavy endemic villages with schistosomiasis in the lake areas were selected as pilots for the comprehensive control strategy which included replacing bovine with tractors and forbidding grazing on marshlands. The data of schistosome infections of residents and Oncomelania hupensis snails were collected and analyzed statistically from 2009 to 2014.

[Effect of health education on prevention from schistosome infection in engineering construction workers in Poyang Lake area].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of health education on prevention from schistosome infection in engineering construction workers in Poyang Lake area.

Methods: The workers for constructing "De Chang" highway in Poyang Lake area were divided randomly into an experiment group and a control group, "health education + protective skill training" was carried out in the experiment group, whereas, no intervention was implemented in the control group.

Results: In the experiment group, the awareness rates of schistosomiasis control knowledge were 7.

[Evaluation on medium-term effect of schistosomiasis comprehensive control strategy based on infectious source control in Poyang Lake area].

Objective: To evaluate the medium-term effect and stability of the schistosomiasis comprehensive control strategy based on infectious source control after its popularization and application in marshland endemic areas.

Methods: The schistosomiasis comprehensive control strategy based on infectious source control including "replacing buffalo with machine", "marshlands isolation and grazing forbidden", etc. was implemented in all villages of Sanli Township, a heavy endemic area with schistosomiasis in Jianxian County.

[The effect and influencing factors of schistosomiasis control by forbidding livestock denaturing on marshland with Oncomelania snails].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control by forbidding livestock denaturing on marshland with Oncomelania snails and to analyse its influencing factors.

Methods: The village of Aiguo, Xinhe, Huangjia, Fanrong, Fengfu and Caomen and its respective nearby marshland, i.e.
