Abstract:

Hepatic fibrosis caused by schistosomiasis japonica is becoming an important issue in areas where the transmission of schitosomiasis has been interrupted. Schistosomiasis control programme should therefore be adjusted to involve the routine monitoring and intervention of hepatic fibrosis of schistosomiasis in those areas with effective transmission control, to inhibit the development of advanced schistosomiasis.

Key words: Advanced schistosomiasis；Transmission interruption；Hepatic fibrosis, Intervention
