A combination of chemotherapy and mollusciciding has been used in Khuzestan, south-west Iran, since 1966, to try to control urinary schistosomiasis. The total amount of molluscicide used each year varied between 702 and 3505 kg and between 287 and 1320 infected persons were detected and treated annually. The prevalence of infection has gradually declined from 8.3% in 1970 to 0.7% in 1979. Similarly, the incidence of infection among schoolchildren decreased from 3.5% in 1970 to 0.7% in 1979. The proportion of Bulinus-infested habitats also decreased from 10% in 1971 to 2.4% in 1979.
自1966年以来，伊朗西南部的胡齐斯坦省一直采用化疗与杀螺相结合的方法来控制尿路血吸虫病。每年使用的杀螺剂总量在702至3505千克之间，每年检测和治疗的感染者人数在287至1320人之间。感染率已从1970年的8.3%逐渐下降到1979年的0.7%。同样，学童中的感染发病率也从1970年的3.5%下降到1979年的0.7%。感染椎实螺的栖息地比例也从1971年的10%下降到1979年的2.4%。
