Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of sand buried on the elimination of Oncomelania snails in the marshland along the Yangtze River downstream. Methods The areas along the Yangtze River were chosen as the investigated objects in Jiangdu District，Jiangsu Province. The datum review and field investigations were used to observe the change of snail area after the sand buried. Results There were 11 sand buried projects along the Yangtze River in Jiangdu District，Jiangsu Province. The snail ar? eas decreased by 93.73% after the sand buried. Conclusion The sand buried is an effective method of snail control in the marsh? land along the Yangtze River. This method can be combined with economic construction and development projects for populariza? tion and application.
