Methods Five districts in Haining City were randomly selected to investigate the schistosomiasis endemic situation in migrant population from the schistosomiasis endemic provinces. Results Totally 1 207 persons were investigated and four positives were found in serological tests, with the positive rate of 0.33%, but no patients were found in pathologic tests. The positive cases in serological tests were mainly between 31-40 years old, with the positive rate of 1.68%, which was higher than that of other age groups ( = 6.590, P < 0.05).
