[Effect of "one village, one control strategy" on schistosomiasis control in Qianjiang City]
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of "one village, one control strategy" on schistosomiasis control in Qianjiang City.
Methods:
The villages with human and/or bovine schistosome infection rate being more than 1.5% in 2011 were chosen as the trial villages. According to the epidemic characteristics of schistosomiasis and control difficulties of the villages, the "one village, one control strategy" was performed and the control effects were evaluated.
Results:
By the end of 2013, the infection rates of human and bovine in the trial villages decreased by 45.91% (χ2 = 469.19, P < 0.01) and 49.38% (χ2 = 11.46, P < 0.01), respectively, and all the infection rates of human and bovine in those villages were less than 1%.
Conclusion:
The "one village, one control strategy" is effective for schistosomiasis control, which can rapidly reduce the prevalence of schistosomiasis.
