abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of comprehensive measures of schistosomiasis prevention and control technique.
  
  
  METHODS
  The comprehensive measures including forbidding grazing on marshlands, renovating latrines and supplying safe water, and health education were carried out in a demonstrative area, and the schistosomiasis endemic situation and other relative factors were investigated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After the control measures were carried out for 3 years, the prevalence of schistosomiasis in human decreased from 3.57% to 0.83%, and the infection rates of cattle decreased from 17.14% to 0. No infected Oncomelania snails were found on the marshlands in the demonstration area.
