Abstract:

Over the years, the water resources development has played an important role in control of schistosomiasis transmission. Water conservancy projects, especially some mega-project construction in schistosomiasis endemic areas usually give rise to changes of the ecological environment in the project and downstream area. Some of ecological environmental changes rea conducive to control or elimination of schistosomiasis, but some ecological environment may lead to the spread of snails and schistosomiasis. It is, therefore, necessary to evaluate the effect of the water conservancy and anti-schistosomiasis project. Furthermore, hygienic evaluation of the under-construction large water conservancy projects are actively carried out by the health sector, and prevention and control measures are put forward according to the risk of snail spread in the projects. During the construction of the projects, the potential risk of snail spread can be reduced or eliminated as long as water conservancy and schistosomiasis control engineering measures are implemented, so as to achieve water conservancy, schistosomiasis control and other socio-economic comprehensive benefits. As to the research of prevention of snail spread, new technologues of snail hydraulic achievements have been incorporated into the Water Sector Technical Guidance file. At present, work of the water conservancy and schistosomiasis control is coming into institutionalization, normalization and standardization.

摘要:

长期以来,我国水利血防工程对控制血吸虫病传播发挥了重要作用。水利工程特别是血吸虫病疫区的大型水利工程建设,往往会改变工程区及其下游地区的生态环境。有些生态环境变化有利于控制或消除血吸虫病,而有些生态环境变化可能导致钉螺扩散和血吸虫病蔓延。因此,需对水利血防工程措施进行效果评价;同时,卫生部门应积极开展大型水利建设项目的卫生学评价,并针对工程可能存在钉螺扩散的风险,提出预防和控制措施的意见。在工程建设中,只要落实水利血防工程措施就可降低或消除钉螺扩散的潜在风险,实现水利、血防等社会、经济综合效益。在围绕防止钉螺扩散研究方面,钉螺水力学新技术成果已编入水利行业水利血防指导性技术文件。目前,水利血防工作正在走上制度化、规范化、标准化轨道。
