Classification | Ecological management measures | Effect on schistosomiasis control |
---|---|---|
Control the source of infection | Set no pastoral area | Such measures effectively reduce Schistosoma eggs that pollute the environment and prevent the infection of snail from schistosome miracidium. |
Close or transfer cultivation factory | ||
Dispose of human and animal excrement | ||
Build sanitation toilets | ||
Build a large factory to dispose of livestock excrement | ||
Block the biological transmission chains | Using right circulation of land, change its purpose of use | Such measures can effectively change the suitable habitats of the snail intermediate host, and can effectively reduce or even get rid of snail habitats. |
Water saving irrigation | ||
Harden the ditches and roads | ||
Develop economic forest | ||
Return the plough into forestry, forest land conservation | ||
Channel management | ||
Cut off transmission of the disease | Control the price of water | Such measures change people’s habits, thereby reducing contact oppertunities with contaminated water and thus reducing the risk of infection. |
Collect polluted water | ||
Centralise water supply | ||
Implement efficient water-saving projects | ||
Improve ecological environment | Improve the environmental restoration, by building ecological furrow | Such measures reduce the risk areas by declining the infection of humans and livestock, but must pay attention to the diffusion of snails. |
Improve wetlands restoration | ||
Reconstruct lakeside area |
