Abstract: Objective To investigate the species and activities of wild animals infected with schistosome in hilly and mountain areas by using an infrared camera technique， so as to provide the evidence for the surveillance of schistosomiasis in these areas. Methods Six infrared cameras were selected and placed in 6 environments of the risk monitoring points of schistosomiasis in Shitai County in Anhui Province. The species and activities of the wild animals in the 6 environments were observed through the photographs and videos taken by the cameras. Results Through 5 day’s monitoring， 3 wild mammals， such as voles， hares and wild boars， were found in 4 monitoring environments， of which voles were found at 2 environments with snails， and hares， wild boars and voles were found in 2 environments adjacent to environments with snails respectively. The monitoring showed that the vole activity was most frequent in the monitored environment. Conclusion The use of infrared camera technique has a good effect in the investigation of wild animal infectious source of schistosomiasis， and it is also suitable for the monitoring work in other types of environments.

摘要： 目的 探讨红外相机技术在血吸虫病野生动物传染源调查中的应用价值。方法 选用6台红外相机，分别放置于安徽省石台县血吸虫病风险监测点的6处环境进行拍摄。通过拍摄的照片和视频，分析该区域野生动物传染源的种类和活动情况。 结果 通过5 d的监测拍摄，共在4个监测环境发现了野鼠、野兔和野猪等3种野生哺乳动物，其中在2处有螺环境发现了野鼠，2处与有螺环境毗邻的环境分别发现了野兔、野猪和野鼠。监测显示，监测环境中野鼠活动最频繁。结论 利用红外相机技术调查血吸虫病野生动物传染源有较好效果。
