    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. CONCLUSION: The schistosomiasis endemic situation declined dramatically at the surveillance site, and schistosomiasis is well-controlled.
