A comprehensive strategy for snail control, including environmental modification and mollusciciding, was implemented in Ya-he River, Changsha County of Hunan Province from 2003 to 2004. The snail status declined significantly in 2005 and 2006, and no snailswere found since 2007. It is indicated that the environmental modification combined with mollusciciding is an effective approach for snailcontrol so as to control the transmission of schistosomiasis.
