Objective:
To understand the schistosomiasis epidemic situation among migrant population, so as to assess the potential risk of schistosomiasis transmission in Haining City.
Methods:
Five districts in Haining City were randomly selected to investigate the schistosomiasis endemic situation in migrant population from the schistosomiasis endemic provinces.
Results:
Totally 1 207 persons were investigated and four positives were found in serological tests, with the positive rate of 0.33%, but no patients were found in pathologic tests. The positive cases in serological tests were mainly between 31-40 years old, with the positive rate of 1.68%, which was higher than that of other age groups (χ2 = 6.590, P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
The schistosomiasis surveillance work in migrant population still should be strengthened in Haining City.
