SURVEILLANCE ON MAJOR HUMAN PARASITIC DISEASES AND RESIDENT AWARENESS IN TONGZHOU DISTRICT,BEIJING FROM 2011 TO 2022
Objective To analyze the surveillance and investigation results of parasitic diseases in the Tongzhou district of Beijing from 2011 to 2022,and to provide scientific basis for formulating prevention and control measures.Methods Analyze the characteristics of parasitic diseases from the disease information reporting management system and epidemiological survey data.According to the Beijing Human Important Parasitic Diseases Investigation Plan,a stratified cluster sampling method was used to select survey points.The modified Kato-Katz method was used to detect worm eggs,and the anal tape test was used to detect Enterobius vermicularis eggs in children.Residents were randomly selected for the awareness questionnaire survey.Results From 2011 to 2022,there were 26 cases of parasitic diseases in the Tongzhou District of Beijing,including 21 cases of malaria,two cases of schistosomiasis,two cases of hydatidosis,and one case of Clonorchiasis sinensis,with an average incidence rate of 0.15/100000.All cases except C.sinensis infection were imported.In 2015,1 500 residents were surveyed,and the infection rate of soil-transmitted nematodes,C.sinensis,and other infections was 0.In 2019,1015 residents were surveyed,and the infection rate of soil-transmitted nematodes,C.sinensis,and other infections was 0.The resident questionnaire survey on diseases caused by soil-transmitted nematodes showed an awareness rate of 71.79%.A total of 379 resident questionnaire surveys on C.sinensis were completed,giving an awareness rate of 34.56%.The difference was statistically significant(x2=199.97,P<0.05).Conclusion Parasitic cases in Tongzhou District,Beijing,are mainly imported from other regions or abroad,and the infection rate of major human parasitic diseases is relatively low.Residents had higher awareness of soil-transmitted nematode diseases and lower awareness of Clonorchiasis.The local risk of food-borne parasitic diseases is significant and targeted health education should be provided.With an increasing number of parasitic cases from other regions and abroad seeking medical services in Tongzhou District,prevention and control of parasitic diseases,such as education and surveillance,need to be emphasized.
