Epidemiological profiles The prevalence of C. sinensis infection and the proportion of persons ingesting raw freshwater fish refer to Additional file 1: Table S1 [17, 19]. The epidemiological profiles of C. sinensis prevalence and raw-freshwater fish-eating practice were similar in different endemic levels, namely higher prevalence of C. sinensis and proportion of raw-fish-eating practice in male compared to female and in elder people compared to children. Overall, the DALYs per 1000 was 6.4, ranging from 0.2 to 34.3 in different counties. It was 0.5 in children ranging from 0 to 7.3, 4.6 in adult female ranging from 0 to 26.0, and 10.5 in adult male ranging from 0.2 to 42.9 (Additional file 1: Table S2). In adult female, the YLDs per 1000 was 4.3 and the YLLs per 1000 was 0.3. In adult male, the YLDs per 1000 was 9.7 and the YLLs per 1000 was 0.8. Cost effectiveness In very high prevalence group, cost to treat single infected case in selective chemotherapy was USD 10.6 in adult mal
