Abstract Schistosomiasis in Indonesia has been found in three endemic areas of Central Sulawesi Province and its control program has long been implemented for more than 35 years, but the transmission has remained unchanged. A new integrated and community based strategy, namely “Bada”was implemented in Lengkeka Village.in 2019. The study aimed to determine the impact of the implementation of Bada model to control schistosomiasis using mixed methods. The Bada model consisted of four actions, namely design of village regulations, formation of schistosomiasis control team, the improvement of capacity for several key persons and integrated schistosomiasis control with various sectors. The results showed the increase of stool collection coverage from 54.59% in 2018 to 71.92% in 2019 and the mass drug administration coverage, from 53% in 2018 to 86.04% in 2019. The snail focci areas were reduced from five to three areas. The schistosomiasis prevalence in human was 0% in 2019. The study also found the increasing of the knowledge, attitude, and practice about schistosomiasis and its prevention of people in the study area.. Based on the results, the Bada model can be considered to be implemented in other schistosomiasis endemic areas, with regard to the local wisdom. Keywords: Schistosomiasis, community empowerment, development of Bada model, Lengkeka, Poso Abstrak Schistosomiasis di Indonesia ditemukan di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah dan upaya pengendalian sudah dilakukan selama lebih dari 35 tahun terakhir, tetapi sampai saat ini penularan masih terjadi. Sebuah strategi baru pengendalian schistosomiasis terintegrasi dan berbasis masyarakat, yang disebut pengembangan model “Bada” diimplementasikan di Desa Lengkeka tahun 2019. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mixed methods Pengembangan tersebut terdiri atas empat kegiatan, yaitu penyusunan peraturan desa, pembentukan tim pengendalian Schistosomiasis desa/Tim Peda’, peningkatan kapasitas dalam pengendalian schistosomiasis melalui beberapa tokoh masyarakat dan program pengendalian Schistosomiasis terintegrasi lintas sektor. Hasil implementasi menunjukkan terjadi penurunan kasus schistosomiasis pada manusia dan hewan mamalia ternak menjadi nol, meningkatkan cakupan pengumpulan tinja manusia, dari 54,59% menjadi 71,92%, juga meningkatkan cakupan pengobatan dari 53% pada tahun 2018 menjadi 86,04% pada tahun 2019. Pengembangan Model Bada dapat menurunkan jumlah daerah fokus dari 5 menjadi 3 daerah fokus, juga menambah pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku masyarakat secara signifikan. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut Pengembangan Model Bada dapat dipertimbangkan untuk diimplementasikan di daerah endemis schistosomiasis lain di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah, dengan tetap mempertimbangkan kearifan lokal masingmasing desa.

China has had a long history against schistosomiasis japonica. The most serious prognosis of chronic schistosome infection is hepatic fibrosis, which develops into advanced schistosomiasis if the process is not effectively controlled. After a more than seven decades endeavor, China has gained remarkable achievements in schistosomiasis control and achieved transmission control nationwide (infection rate of schistosomes in residents and domestic animals both less than 1%) by 2015. However, new advanced schistosomiasis cases emerge annually in China, even in areas where the transmission of schistosomiasis had been interrupted. In the present study, the residents (>5 years old) in a schistosomiasis endemic village were examined for schistosomiasis every year during 1995–2019 by the modified Kato–Katz thick smear method and/or miracidium hatching technique. Residents who were identified to have an active infection method were treated with praziquantel at a dose of 40 mg/kg body weight. Ultrasonography was carried out to assess the liver morbidity related to schistosomiasis in 1995 and 2019, respectively. The prevalence of schistosomiasis among residents presented a downward trend annually, from 17.89% (175/978) in 1995 to 0 (0/475) in 2019. Among 292 residents who received ultrasound scan both in 1995 and 2019, 141 (48.29%) presented stable liver damage, while liver fibrosis was developed severely in 86 (29.45%) and reversed in 65 (22.26%) residents. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that anti-fibrosis treatment was the protective factor against schistosomiasis hepatic fibrosis. Males, residents aged 38 and above, fishermen, and people who did not receive anti-fibrosis treatment were groups with higher risk of liver fibrosis development. Our results revealed that although the infection rate of schistosome dropped significantly in endemic areas, liver fibrosis was still developing among some residents, even though they had received deworming treatment. Liver protection/anti-fibrosis treatment should be administered in endemic regions and regions with historically uncontrolled transmission to slow down the deterioration of hepatic fibrosis among patients in schistosomiasis endemic areas.

Serological Data

The diagnostic potential of circulating IgM and IgA antibodies against Schistosoma mansoni gut-associated antigens detected by the immunofluorescence test (IFT) on adult worm paraffin sections was evaluated comparatively to the fecal parasitological method, for epidemiological purposes in low endemic areas for schistosomiasis. Blood samples were collected on filter paper from two groups of schoolchildren living in two different localities of the municipality of Itariri (São Paulo, Brazil) with different histories and prevalences of schistosomiasis. The parasitological and serological data were compared to those obtained for another group of schoolchildren from a non-endemic area for schistosomiasis. The results showed poor sensitivity of the parasitological method in detecting individuals with low worm burden and indicate the potential of the serological method as an important tool to be incorporated into schistosomiasis control and vigilance programs for determining the real situation of schistosomiasis in low endemic areas.

Even though tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has been a notifiable disease in Croatia since 2007, there are no or only limited data available on the occurring tick species in the endemic areas, on the prevalence of TBE virus (TBEV) in ticks, its distribution in Croatia, and its genetic characteristics. Reporting of human cases also is very scarce. The Central European subtype of virus (TBEV-EU) appears to be present in Croatia
