Abstract: AIM:To provide evidence for working out schistosomiasis control
strategy in lake regions. METHODS:By retrospective study, the schistosomiasis
control effect between crop rotation areas(Dong Dayuan and Guan Zhuangyuan
farm) and control area(DiHu farm) from 1980 to 1995 were investigated. RESULTS:Comparison of the result in 1995 and that in 1980 showed that in the croprotation area the snail- infested area decreased from 762000 m2 to 84600
m2, no snail was found in 533300 m2 paddy field; the population infection rate
was decreased from 29.54% to 3.87%, the cattle infection rate was decreased from 19.10% to 2.0%. CONCLUSION: Croprotation combined with population and cattle chemotherapy could effectively control schistosomiasis in lake regions and accord with agricultual economy development.

Key words: Lake regions, croprotation, population and cattle chemotherapy, Schistosomiasis control
