In foe meantime of hightening and strengthening the lake dyke, in the light of chalacterishcs of oncomelania reproduction and schistosodriasis dissendnation, transfondng the topography accolding to local condition andchanging water regime in the reproduction period of oncomelania, foeing unfavourable external condihon for schistosondasisdissemination, it is the principal measure to extendnate oncomelania and control the schistosotheasis. It has imper'tant realistic significance in reducing foe economic and social input for schistosomiasis prevention, safegualding the people and livestock in infected area, and promoting sehistosotheasis prevention work.
