[Study on distribution status of

To grasp the distribution status ofThe vector grid was created and sampled randomly by 200 m × 200 m in the spatial database of grassland, and the distribution of snails was investigated in the selected grid by using the method of mechanical sampling by 50 m × 50 m. At the same time, the elevation of investigation points was extracted based on the topographic map of Poyang Lake.Totally 949 and 210 investigation points were collected from the south and north of Poyang Lake areas, accounting for 3.04% and 3.21% of all the investigation points in the respective region. The number of investigation points, the appearance rate of snail frame, and the average density of alive snails were 15 231, 8.15%, and 0.463/0.1 mThe distribution of snails is in the range of 9-16 m. The suitable habitats of snail breeding are moving from the south Poyang Lake area to the north Poyang Lake area, and from high elevation to low elevation. In the future, the schistosomiasis prevention and control measures could be formulated based on the geographical characteristics of current snail distribution in order to consolidate the achievements of schistosomiasis control.
