Abstract:

Currently, the schistosomiasis control program is moving from transmission-control and transmission-blocking towards elimination in China. However, the rapid development of countryside tourism will inevitably pose impacts on the consolidation of schistosomiasis control achievements and elimination campaigns. This review summarized the schistosomiasis epidemiology and tourism development in schistosomiasis-endemic areas in China, as well as the impact of tourism development on schistosomiasis control in endemic areas. We have proposed new intervention models for schistosomiasis control and elimination in endemic areas and ecological schistosomiasis control policies that adapt to rural tourism development.

Key words: Schistosomiasis, Epidemic, Village tourism, Prevention and control
