title: [Quality control assessments of feces examination for schistosomiasis in province-level laboratories of Zhejiang Province].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To understand and evaluate the quality of feces examination for schistosomiasis in province-level laboratories of Zhejiang Province.
  
  
  METHODS
  With the single-blind method, the stool samples were detected by the stool hatching method and sediment detection method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the 3 quality control assessments in 2006, 2008 and 2009, most laboratories finished the examinations on time. The accordance rates of detections were 88.9%, 100% and 93.9%, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The province-level laboratories for schistosomiasis feces examination of Zhejiang Province is coming into standardization, and the techniques of schistosomiasis feces examination are optimized gradually.
