Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To understand the growth and decline of Oncomelania snail status in canals of Four Lake areas, so as to provide the evidence for formulating control strategy. METHODS: The data of snail investigations were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The snail area decreased by 31.05%, the snail density decreased by 92.08, and the infection rate of snails decreased by 87.69% in 2010 compared with those in 1990. CONCLUSION: During the period of 1990 to 2010, all the key indicators of snail status decline. However, we still need strengthen the snail control.
