SWOT analysis on snail control measures applied in the national schistosomiasis control programme in the People’s Republic of China

Abstract: BackgroundSnail control is an important component in the national schistosomiasis control programme in China, by application of chemical molluscicides, forestry projects, agriculture projects and water conservancy projects in recent decades. However, there are still wide areas of snail inhabited in China which remains a great challenge to achieve the goal of schistosomiasis elimination by 2025. Therefore, a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis on snail control measures is required f… Show more

“…This sentinel mouse-based surveillance and forecast method clari ed the characteristics of schistosomiasis infection in the monitored waters and provided effective early warnings to help prevent the occurrence and transmission of acute schistosomiasis. Furthermore, this method has fostered a better understanding of the quality limitations of the snail survey method through providing an indirect check and evaluation of previous snail and cercaria control methods [38,39]. The snail survey is a huge undertaking in the large snail habitats of schistosomiasis endemic areas of the Yangtze, Hanbei, and Fu Rivers.…”

“…In order to lift the impact of RNAS+, as a platform for exchange and dissemination of information on schistosomiasis and other zoonotic helminthiasis control, which breaks the geographic borders to encouraging the collaboration and communication among scientists and decision-makers [24], several ways to enhance China's contribution to RNAS + development in future were suggested. First, China has made great progress in Schistosomiasis control in the past 70 years [25][26], continuing seeking out professional integrating points to share China's experiences and enhance the cooperation within member countries is still the signi cant issue [27][28]. Second, capacity building is needed by RNAS + members, China can continue to support the annual workshops and technical trainings as well as collaboration research [29][30].…”

“…In that study, a combined mass administration of praziquantel and snail control strategies resulted in significant reduction of human prevalence of schistosomiasis [4]. In China, snail control strategies include molluscicide application, environmental management, and land conversion [5]. ese strategies may be difficult to implement if snail sites vary in size and terrain or when molluscicide being used is toxic [5,6].…”

“…In China, snail control strategies include molluscicide application, environmental management, and land conversion [5]. ese strategies may be difficult to implement if snail sites vary in size and terrain or when molluscicide being used is toxic [5,6]. For example, the use of synthetic molluscicides such as niclosamide poses environmental and health risks which necessitates the development of green alternatives [6].…”
