To fulfil elimination targets, it will be necessary to identify other possible reservoir hosts for\n                    <jats:italic>Schistosoma japonicum<\/jats:italic>\n                    and include them in future control efforts.

We found a much higher prevalence in goats than previously recorded in this setting. Cattle and water buffalo were also examined using the same procedures and all were found to be infected, emphasising the occurrence of active transmission. qPCR and ddPCR were much more sensitive than the coproparasitological procedures with both KK and MHT considerably underestimating the true prevalence in all animals surveyed. The high level of\n                    <jats:italic>S. japonicum<\/jats:italic>\n                    prevalence in goats indicates that they are likely important reservoirs in schistosomiasis transmission, necessitating their inclusion as targets of control, if the goal of elimination is to be achieved in China.\n
