title: [Surveillance of schistosomiasis in national surveillance sites of Fuqing City and Xiapu County, 2006 -2009].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To understand the status of national surveillance sites of schistosomiasis in Fuqing City and Xiapu County.
  
  
  METHODS
  According to the National Scheme of Shistosomiasis Surveillance, the data of the surveillance and field survey in the national surveillance sites of schistosomiasis of Fuqing City and Xiapu County were collected and analyzed statistically from 2006 to 2009.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty residual Oncomelania snail points and 8 villages with snails were found in 36 surveillance sites. The snail areas were 35 900 m2. Serological examinations were conducted in 3 109 residents, and 17 persons were positive, 280 mobile persons from schistosomiasis endemic areas were examined serologically, and 10 persons were positive, among whom 2 had eggs and miracidia in their stools. A total of 122 appendix samples were examined, and no schistosome eggs were found. Totally 527 head of farm cattle in the region with snails were examined by stool tests, and no schistosome eggs were found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The areas of residual snails are large and wide spread, and the imported patients are found frequently, so the long-term surveillance and control are necessary.
