Abstract

Schistosomiasis was once heavily endemic in Jiangsu Province. Following the control efforts for several decades, schistosomiasis was almost eradicated in all endemic counties in Jiangsu Province in 1980, and transmission control was achieved in the province in 2011. According to the principle of "implementing the control measures with adaptation to local circumstances and guiding the control programs with classified interventions", an integrated strategy with emphasis on the management of both infectious sources and snails has been recently employed for schitsosomiasis control in Jiangsu Province. In addition, a sensitive and highly effective surveillance system has been built and the application of novel techniques and information construction has been intensified to effectively interrupt the transmission of schistosomiasis in the Province. Transmission interruption of schistosomiasis was achieved in all endemic counties in Jiangsu Province. The paper summarizes the endemic situation of schistosomiasis, progress of schistosomiasis control, and major schistosomiasis control measures implemented during the stage of transmission interruption in Jiangsu Province.

[摘要] 江苏省曾是血吸虫病重度流行区。经过多年积极防治, 1980年全省所有流行县 (市、区) 达到了基本消灭血吸虫病标准, 2011年全省达到了传播控制标准。根据“因地制宜, 分类指导”的防治原则, 江苏省近年来采取了传染源控制与钉螺控制并重的综合防治策略, 并打造了敏感而高效的监测体系, 加强了新技术与信息化建设, 有效阻断了血吸虫病传播。全省所有流行县 (市、区) 于2017年达到了血吸虫病传播阻断标准。本文对江苏省血吸虫病流行情况、防治历程及血吸虫病传播阻断阶段的主要防控措施进行了总结。.
