title: [Effect of schistosomiasis control in towns reached criteria of infection controlled in Nanchang City].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control in towns that had reached the criteria of infection controlled in Nanchang City.
  
  
  METHODS
  The residents and livestock of 14 towns that had reached the criteria of infection controlled in Nanchang, Xinjian and Jinxian counties of Nanchang City were sampled to investigate the schistosomiasis endemic situation, Oncomelania hupensis snail status, and data of schistosomiasis control work.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The positive rate of serum tests of the residents was 2.58%, and no positive stool samples were found. No cattle or sheep were positive in stool tests. Totally 1 635 snails were caught, and 1278 were alive with an average density of living snails of 0.051/0.1 M2, while no schistosome infected snails were found. All the surveyed administrative villages had the completed files of schistosomiasis control. Conclusion All the 14 towns that had reached the criteria of infection controlled of schistosomiasis have already reached the criteria of transmission controlled in Nanchang City.
