Based on the observational study of the Global Burden of Disease Study database in 2019 (GBD2019) and the World Bank database, this study aimed to analyze the prevalence trend of schistosomiasis in China from 1990 to 2019 by using the joinpoint regression model, and the relationship between economic and social development and schistosomiasis prevalence. The data of age-standardized infection rates (ASRs) from the Global Burden of Disease Study Global Health Data Exchange were collected, and Gross national product per capita (GDP) and people using safely managed sanitation services ((PPMS) % of population) were extracted from the World Bank database. Trends of ASR were analyzed using joinpoint regression analysis, the association of ASR with GDP, and PPMS using the Pearson correlation analysis. The results reveal that, from 1990 to 2019, the overall trend of ASR from schistosomiasis showed a decrease for both sexes, the decreases in men were relatively smaller compared with women. A larger decrease has been observed in the age groups from 15 to 49 years compared with other age groups. The ASR of schistosomiasis had a significant negative correlation with GDP and PPMS. This observational study identified decreasing prevalence rate of schistosomiasis in China since 1990. Continuous investment, optimization of control strategy, and economic development will help to achieve the goal of schistosomiasis elimination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/tropicalmed8070344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,29]],"date-time":"2023-06-29T01:15:47Z","timestamp":1688001347000},"page":"344","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Trend of Human Schistosomiasis Japonica Prevalence in China from 1990 to 2019"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9137-6286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yifeng","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"},{"name":"Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tingting","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingzi","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shangbiao","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"},{"name":"Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zongguang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"},{"name":"Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"},{"name":"Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5514-535X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dandan","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Nanchang 330096, China"},{"name":"Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"846108","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2022.846108","article-title":"The Road to Elimination: Current State of Schistosomiasis Research and Progress Towards the End Game","volume":"13","author":"Ogongo","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front.
