Flood disasters frequently occur in schistosomiasis-endemic regions of China during the flood season, which causes a high risk of schistosomiasis transmission. Therefore, it is particularly crucial to control schistosomiasis transmission during the flood season. Based on field schistosomiasis control needs, this article proposes scientifical and operational countermeasures during three phases of pre-flood preparation, response to flood disasters, and post-flood management, and emphasizes multi-faceted interventions as responses to the risk of Oncomelania hupensis spread and schistosomiasis transmission caused by flood disasters, including information collection, risk assessment, material reserve, health education, Oncomelania hupensis control, cercariae elimination, personal protection, and preventive treatment, so as to provide insights into schistosomiasis prevention and control during the flood season.
