The high prevalence (greater than 90%) and intensity of infection (50% of those infected excreted greater than 600 eggs per gram of faeces) of schistosomiasis in a tin mining area in eastern Zaire is related to extensive man-made ecological changes and intensive man/water contact. Construction of latrines, water supply and availability of diagnosis and treatment through occupational health services have been used in control efforts. The integration of environmental measures is limited by their high costs. The control of schistosomiasis in this area of intense transmission would require repetitive chemotherapy and other measures which are beyond available resources.
在扎伊尔东部一个锡矿区，血吸虫病的高流行率（超过90%）和感染强度（50%的感染者每克粪便中排出的虫卵超过600个）与广泛的人为生态变化及人与水的密切接触有关。在防治工作中采用了建造厕所、供水以及通过职业卫生服务进行诊断和治疗等措施。环境措施的整合因成本高昂而受到限制。在这个高传播地区控制血吸虫病需要反复进行化疗以及采取其他超出现有资源范围的措施。
