“…Most countries that achieved long-term control of schistosomiasis experienced important socioeconomic changes resulting in improved living conditions. Important long term and sustainable achievements in schistosomiasis control occurred in Japan, Egypt, Brazil and China, all of which have a relatively a relatively high gross national product per capita compared to other countries where schistosomiasis is still endemic (Yokogawa 1976;Jordan & Rosenfield 1983;Leonardo et al 2002;Utzinger et al 2005;Brooker et al 2008).…”

“…Por ser transmitida através de coleções de água doce, entre diversos outros fatores, a sua ocorrência pode ser potencializada, tanto pela expansão espacial resultante dos movimentos populacionais, quanto pela construção de barragens e o aproveitamento das mesmas para obras subseqüentes, como irrigação. O impacto da introdução de perímetros irrigados na ocorrência da esquistossomose vem sendo referido principalmente na literatura africana (Amin, 1976;Huang & Manderson, 1992;Jordan & Rosenfield, 1983;Mobarak, 1982;Souza, 1996). A maioria desses estudos foi realizada em países localizados na África subsaariana, como dentre outros, o Sudão e a Etiópia, os quais constataram, de forma enfática, a associação entre a introdução da irrigação e o aparecimento ou aumento das taxas de prevalên-cia pela esquistossomose mansônica ou hematóbica.…”

“…Mass treatment with tartar emetic was also an integral part of the process although the results were not encouraging. About the 1930s, sanitation was incorporated in the programme, but still the results were not convincing (Jordan & Rosenfield, 1983). Following the elucidation of the life cycle of Schistosomes by Lieper during the first years of the first world war, snail control and mass treatment became the model of control efforts.…”
