title: [Surveillance of schistosomiasis in Hubei Province in 2013].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To understand the dynamic schistosomiasis situation in Hubei Province so as to provide the evidence for formulating the effective control strategy.
  
  
  METHODS
  According to the Scheme of Schistosomiasis Surveillance in Hubei Province (the 2009 edition) , 207 endemic villages were selected and investigated for the schistosome infections of residents and livestock, and the distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average infection rates of residents and cattle were 0.35% and 0.15% respectively, and the endemic situation of fishermen and farmers were relatively serious (0.44% and 0.42%, respectively). The density of living snails was 0.30 snail/0.1m2, but no infected snails were found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The endemic situation of schistosomiasis in Hubei Province was stable in 2013, but the efforts for the infectious source control still should be strengthened.
