Pre-impoundment studies were conducted to determine the present and future schistosomiasis situation in the proposed man-made lake at Mtera, Tanzania. The population, at the time of the survey scattered in small villages, was estimated at 2000 people. The figure fluctuates with seasons and is higher during the rainy season when fishermen from the neighbouring districts go to the area to fish in the Ruahas. The bilharzia prevalence rates were low in the actual area to be under water but high in the neighbouring village of Kisima. Bulinus (Physopsis) nasutus snails were collected from several places in the area. The potential for other vectors and of the disease in the future Lake Mtera is discussed.
蓄水前进行了研究，以确定坦桑尼亚姆特拉拟建人工湖目前和未来的血吸虫病情况。调查时，人口分散在小村庄，估计有2000人。这个数字随季节波动，在雨季较高，那时邻区的渔民会到该地区在鲁阿哈斯河捕鱼。在实际将被水淹没的区域，血吸虫病患病率较低，但在邻近的基西马村患病率较高。从该地区的几个地方采集了鼻泡双脐螺。文中还讨论了未来姆特拉湖其他病媒和疾病的潜在情况。
