The program of schistosomiasis control for the State of São Paulo, where only low endemicity areas occur, is discussed in this paper. Inclusion of schistosomiasis among the diseases due to obligatory notification is considered as a measure of great importance. Accordingly the search for passive cases conducted by the public health system acquired major importance in the disease surveillance. As from 1981 to 1992 only 11% of the detected cases were considered as autochthonous. The main transmission areas are located at the Litoral and Paraiba Valley regions. In the period of time under analysis, the epidemiological surveillance data suggest a decrease in the morbidity and in the autochthony tendency in the State of São Paulo.
本文讨论了圣保罗州的血吸虫病控制项目，该州仅存在低流行区。将血吸虫病纳入强制通报疾病被视为一项极为重要的措施。因此，公共卫生系统开展的被动病例搜索在疾病监测中具有重大意义。从1981年到1992年，仅11%的检测病例被视为本地病例。主要传播区域位于沿海和帕拉伊巴河谷地区。在分析的时间段内，流行病学监测数据表明圣保罗州的发病率和本地病例趋势有所下降。
