title: [Schistosomiasis endemic situation at a national surveillance site in Gong'an County, Hubei Province from 2004 to 2013].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To understand the schistosomiasis endemic situation at a national surveillance site in Gong'an County, Hubei Province.
  
  
  METHODS
  According to The Scheme of Schistosomiasis Surveillance in China, the schistosome infection rates of residents and cattle, and the Oncomelania hupensis snail status were investigated yearly in Zhangjiahu Village, a national surveillance site, in Gong' an County from 2004 to 2013.
  
  
  RESULTS
  From 2004 to 2013, the human schistosome infection rates decreased from 10.66% to 0.58%, and the cattle schistosome infection rates from 12.75% to 0. Meanwhile, the snail areas and densities reduced, and the schistosome infected snails were eliminated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The schistosomiasis endemic situation declined dramatically at the surveillance site, and schistosomiasis is well-controlled.
