The surveillance data were annually collected and analyzed. Results From 2009 to 2018, a total of 738 cases of schistosomiasis were reported, in which 92 were confirmed. No sudden endemic occurred during the 10 years. Totallypositive blood rate was decreased to 0. 91% in 2018 from 6. 31% in 2009. Human prevalence of schistosomiasis was decreased from 2. 15% in 2009 to 0 in 2014. The positive rate of blood test and schistosomiasis were higher in male and population aged over 60 years. Positive results were identified in 6 out of a total of 834 livestock tested before 2013. The infection rate of snails was zero, and the density of live snails was decreased from 0. 195 0 / frame in 2009 to 0. 031 6 / frame in 2018. Surveillance frame with snails was decreased from 10. 90% in 2009 to 2. 69% in 2018. Conclusion The infection rate of schistosomiasis in population, livestock and snails were greatly reduced in Yingcheng City due to comprehensive control measures implemented from 2009 to 2018, and currently schistosomiasis remains in lower prevalent.
