title: [Surveillance of schistosomiasis in a national surveillance site of Yangzhong City, 2005-2009].
abstract: A longitudinal survey of schistosomiasis was carried out in Shicheng Village, Yangzhong City, Jiangsu Province, a national schistosomiasis surveillance site, from 2005 to 2009. The results showed that the infection situation of schistosomiasis in residents, and the status of snails, in general, remarkably decreased from 2005 to 2009. However, the snails still existed, so the comprehensive control in marshland and surveillance of infectious sources should be strengthened.
