Soil-transmitted nematodiasis was once widely prevalent in Jiangsu Province, which seriously threatened human health and hindered socioeconomic development. The control efforts over decades resulted in a remarkable decline in the prevalence of soil-transmitted nematode human infections in Jiangsu Province, with a reduction from 59.32% in 1989 to 0.12% in 2019, and the human prevalence remains at < 0.5% since 2013. Since 1987, an integrated strategy has been adopted for the control of soil-transmitted nematodiasis in Jiangsu Province; however, the core interventions varies at different stages, which mainly include deworming, water and sanitation service improvement, health education, and monitoring and assessment. The criteria of effective soil-transmitted nematodiasis control had been achieved in all epidemic counties (districts) of Jiangsu Province by 2019. Further actions to strengthen health education and monitoring and implement precision control measures are required to consolidate the achievements of soil-transmitted nematodiasis control and eliminate the harm of soil-transmitted nematodiasis to humans. This review summarizes the epidemiology, control progress and evolution of control strategy of soil-transmitted nematodiasis in Jiangsu Province.
土源性线虫病曾在江苏省广泛流行，严重威胁人类健康，阻碍社会经济发展。经过数十年的防治努力，江苏省土源性线虫人群感染率显著下降，从1989年的59.32%降至2019年的0.12%，自2013年以来人群感染率一直保持在<0.5%。自1987年起，江苏省采用综合策略控制土源性线虫病；然而，不同阶段的核心干预措施有所不同，主要包括驱虫、改善供水和卫生设施、健康教育以及监测与评估。截至2019年，江苏省所有流行县（区）均达到了有效的土源性线虫病防治标准。需要进一步加强健康教育和监测，并实施精准防控措施，以巩固土源性线虫病防治成果，消除土源性线虫病对人类的危害。本文综述了江苏省土源性线虫病的流行病学、防治进展及防治策略的演变。
