Sumario:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Oncomelania hupensis(O. hupensis) and livestock are main infection sources of schistosomiasis. The schistosome infected O. hupensis and livestock’s feces are important risk factors in the transmission of schistosomiasis. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? The potential risks of schistosomiasis transmission remain prevalent, giving an early warning to local government with information on existing transmission risks. It is expected that the effectiveness and efficiency of schistosomiasis surveillance could be improved by conducting rapid risk assessment at the beginning of transmission season. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? Rapid risk assessment is essential in early detection and the active monitoring of indicators of the transmission risks of schistosomiasis in endemic areas. This could work synergistically with surveillance system to minimize infections and prevent rebounds of endemic schistosomiasis outbreaks.
