Echinococcosis is endemic in pastoral regions of south, west and mid-Gansu province, China. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of echinococcosis in east Gansu, and analyze its associated risk factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2011 in 12 villages of Xiaonangou township, Huan County in east Gansu province by ultrasound abdominal scan and auxiliary serotest, and a prevalence surveillance study from 2008 to 2014 was performed in one villages by ultrasonography screening. Questionnaire information analysis indicates that the risk factors are in association with the gender, age, and education level. The cross-sectional survey found a cystic echinococcosis prevalence of 2.21% (107/4837). Higher prevalence was seen in females (χ = 4.198, P < 0.05), older ages (> 60 years) (χ = 96.30, P < 0.05), and illiterates (χ = 90.101, P < 0.05). Prevalence surveillance showed changing profile of 3.35% in 2011 to 0.88% (1/113) in 2014.
包虫病在中国甘肃南部、西部和中部的牧区流行。本研究旨在确定甘肃省东部包虫病的流行情况,并分析其相关危险因素。2011 年,采用超声腹部扫描和辅助血清学检测,在甘肃省环县小南沟乡 12 个村庄进行了横断面调查,2008 年至 2014 年在一个村庄进行了超声筛查患病率监测研究。问卷调查信息分析表明,危险因素与性别、年龄和教育程度有关。横断面调查发现囊性包虫病患病率为 2.21%(107/4837)。女性(χ = 4.198,P < 0.05)、年龄较大(> 60 岁)(χ = 96.30,P < 0.05)和文盲(χ = 90.101,P < 0.05)的患病率较高。患病率监测显示,2011 年的患病率为 3.35%,2014 年降至 0.88%(1/113)。
