The expansion of schistosomiasis to previously unaffected areas is being monitored by identifying new cases and georeferencing outbreaks of vector snails.
In 2014, the Laboratório de Esquistossomose began an epidemiological survey in Serrambi and registered 2,574 people living there.
Of these subjects, 1,414 (54.9%) underwent feces examination and 63 (4.5%) were diagnosed with Schistosoma mansoni infection. At this locality, seven breeding sites each were identified for Biomphalaria straminea and Biomphalaria glabrata. At two sites, B. glabrata were shedding cercariae.
Implementing preventive measures is necessary to avoid the establishment of schistosomiasis in yet another tourist locality, Pernambuco.
通过识别新病例和对钉螺爆发进行地理定位,对血吸虫病向以前未受影响地区的蔓延情况进行监测。
2014年,血吸虫病实验室在塞兰比开展了一项流行病学调查,登记了居住在那里的2574人。
在这些受试者中,1414人(54.9%)接受了粪便检查,63人(4.5%)被诊断为曼氏血吸虫感染。在该地区,分别为淡黄扁卷螺和光滑双脐螺确定了7个繁殖地。在两个地点,光滑双脐螺正在排出尾蚴。
有必要采取预防措施,以避免在伯南布哥州的另一个旅游地区出现血吸虫病。
