Abstract

OBJECTIVE: snails in Sichuan Province, so as to provide scientific evidence for formulating the schistosomiasis elimination strategy and implementing the precision schistosomiasis control measures in the province. METHODS: , snail surveys were performed in current snail habitats, historical snail habitats and suspected snail habitats using systematic sampling in Sichuan Province from 2016 to 2017, and the survey results were analyzed. RESULTS: -infected snails in 2008. CONCLUSIONS: There are many settings suitable for snail breeding in Sichuan Province, and snail monitoring and control should be intensified in the future.
