Objective: To evaluate the effect of hydraulic schistosomiasis control project with ditches managed on snail control.
Methods: From 2009 to 2011, the snail investigations and schistosomiasis surveillance were carried out in Dali City and Yongsheng County, two sites of national schistosomiasis surveillance. The history data of schistosomiasis control were collected and analyzed.
Results: At the harden sections of the water conservancy project with ditches managed in Shajing Village of Dali City, only one snail was found in 2010 with the density of living snails of 0.004 snails/0.1 m, while the densities of living snails were respectively 0.080, 0.002 snails/0.1 m and 0.007 snails/0.1 m2 in unhardened sections of the project from 2009 to 2011. No snails were found in the harden sections of the water conservancy project with ditches managed in Gaojiacun Village of Yongsheng County, while the densities of living snails were respectively 0.040, 0.030 snails/0.1 m2 and 0.040 snails/0.1 m2 in unhardened sections of the project from 2009 to 2011. After the ditches were hardened, no infected snails were found from 2009 to 2011, and the appearance rate of frames with snails and density of living snails were both decreased, while they were both higher in unhardened ditches.
Conclusions: The hydraulic schistosomiasis control project has obvious effect on control snails, but the maintain work should be strengthened after the project is completed.

Zwitterionic, cationic, and anionic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were investigated in freshwater sediments of Canada, including sites impacted by aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs). The first step of the project involved optimizing the extraction method with equilibrated sediment-water-AFFF samples. The analytical method had acceptable linearity, accuracy, and precision in the sediment matrix, and was further validated with NIST SRM 1936.

Although wild boar invasion is a common human-wildlife conflict worldwide, it is difficult to solve. Understanding the characteristics of wild boar invasion into farmland, accurately predicting the areas where wild boar invasions will occur, and implementing effective prevention and control measures are key to effectively alleviating conflicts between humans and wild boars. From 2021 to 2023, we conducted field surveys and experimentally determined the effectiveness of prevention and control measures in the Huanan and Tonghe Counties in order to explore the landscape and farmland factors affecting wild boar invasion, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of different combinations of prevention and control measures.

Article Synopsis
- Pomacea canaliculata, a freshwater snail from Argentina, has become a major rice pest in South China since the 1980s, impacting rice production in key areas like Guangdong.
- The study tracked the snail's survival, cold tolerance, and physiological changes during winter, revealing a death rate of 7%-16.5% in January, along with fluctuations in metabolic compounds and antioxidant activity.
- Understanding the snail's adaptability provides insights into its invasive success and could inform management strategies for this agricultural pest.
Microplastic Transport and Accumulation in Rural Waterbodies: Insights from a Small Catchment in East China.

Microplastic (MP) pollution in agricultural ecosystems is an emerging environmental concern, with limited knowledge of its transport and accumulation in rural waterbodies. This study investigates the distribution and sources of MP in drainage ditches influenced by pond connectivity, land use, and soil properties within a small catchment in Nanjing, East China. Sediment was collected from ditches in 18 sites across forest, agricultural, horticultural, and urban areas.

Under changing environmental conditions, water level is a crucial indicator for assessing the wetland hydrological cycle. However, due to some wetlands being located in remote and widely dispersed areas, acquiring data on wetland water level changes presents significant challenges, making wetland water level monitoring exceptionally difficult. Wetlands are extensively distributed in western Jilin Province, China, and are experiencing significant degradation due to various factors including natural conditions, agricultural activities, and social development.
