Schistosomiasis control in China has made significant progress, reducing endemic areas and infections. However, ongoing efforts are crucial to consolidate gains and manage challenges like increasing snail habitats, especially after floods.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Control
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Schistosomiasis posed a severe health threat in China.
  • Historical data indicates a widespread prevalence of the disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical schistosomiasis situation in China.
  • To assess progress in control programs and identify remaining challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of domestic and international publications.
  • Inclusion of data from official health control offices.
  • Screening and selection of critical information on schistosomiasis control and research.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in endemic provinces (from 12 to 5).

  • Dramatic decrease in infected individuals (over 10 million to approximately 865,000).
  • Substantial decrease in snail habitat areas (from 14 billion m2 to 3.6 billion m2).
  • Reduced proportion of symptomatic cases among the infected population.
  • Introduction of national criteria for schistosomiasis control and elimination.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tremendous achievements in schistosomiasis control have been realized.
    • Arduous tasks remain, including consolidating successes and controlling endemic areas.
    • Environmental factors, such as floods, can increase snail habitats, posing ongoing challenges.
