[Surveillance of schistosomiasis in national surveillance site of Linxiang City, 2005-2010].
The schistosomiasis surveillance in a national surveillance site, Shuangzhou Village of Linxiang City from 2005 to 2010 showed that both the infection rates of residents and cattle decreased year by year, but the density of living Oncomelania snails in 2010 was higher than that in 2009, and the infection rate of cattle was still maintained at 3%-5%. It suggested that besides the current measures including molluscicide and infectious resource control, the environment modification also should be considered.
