Three Gorges Dam: The changing trend of the density of Oncomelania hupensis, the intermediate host for Schistosoma japonicum, in reaches of the Yangtze River, 1990-2019

Abstract: Background: Oncomelania hupensis (O. hupensis) snail is the sole intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum. Environmental changes caused by Three Gorges Dam (TGD), flood and drought, affect the distribution of snail population, and better understanding the dynamics and spatial distribution of snail density is critical for schistosomiasis risk assessment and control for affected areas. Methods: Data of O. hupensis snail survey between 1990 and 2019 were collected from previous studies in four electronic dat… Show more
