Mini review highlights diagnostic advancements and epidemiological trends for Schistosoma japonicum in humans and rodents, suggesting critical control strategies.

Key Points

This review aims to summarize advances in diagnostic techniques for detecting Schistosoma japonicum and its epidemiological features in humans and wild rodents in China.
Comprehensive literature review from 2015 onward focusing on diagnostic technologies and epidemiological data.
Assessment of diagnostic methods including morphological identification, serological assays, and molecular techniques like PCR and CRISPR.
Analysis of 37 studies on human serum samples and 24 studies on wild rodent populations across multiple Chinese provinces.
Overall seroprevalence rate of 1.54% (95% CI: 1.53–1.54) observed among 46,910,186 human samples, with variation from 0.08% to 4.95% across provinces.
Higher prevalence in males, local residents, and individuals engaged in farming or fishing.
In wild rodents, a seroprevalence of 8.97% (95% CI: 8.50–9.44) was found, with Rattus norvegicus showing the highest infection rate at 37.44%.
