Abstract: Oncomelania hupensis snail is the unique intermediate parasite of schistosomiasoma. The epidemic extent and severity of schistosomiasis depend on its spatial distribution, whose spatial auto-relation, like other geographic factors has obvious scale effects. An experimental field in a typical subtype embankment marshland of the Marshland Schistosomiasis Epidemic Area in China was selected as study subject . A push-broom whole-covered method was adopted to survey the snail count within a 50m*50m field in the Chayegang marshland near Henghu farm in the Poyang Lake region. Universal spatial auto-relation Moran's I, local spatial auto-relation Moran scatter plot figure and local spatial auto-relation Moran's I were used to study the sample unit size effects of spatial auto-relation of snails. The results showed the universal spatial auto-relation Moran's I was of highly significant positive spatial auto-relation (P<0.001) at all sample unit sizes. The local spatial auto-relation Moran scatter plot figures revealed the snail samples concentrateed on the first and third quadrants, indicating the snail in the experimental field had tendency of spatial aggregation. The results of the local spatial auto-relation Moran's I showed the snail samples in the upper parts and the bottom parts of the experimental field were of significant positive spatial auto-relation (α=0.01), and the spatial auto-relation of the snail samples in the other parts of the experimental field was not significant. The smaller the unit size, the more subtle is the presentation of spatial auto-relation of individual snail sample, and the better is the presentation of instability of spatial auto-relation, denoting the universal spatial auto-relation Moran's I could hide substantial existence of inconsistence of local spatial auto-relation Moran's I with universal spatial auto-relation Moran's I.

Key words: Oncomelania hupensis snail, sample unit size effects of spatial auto-relation, universal spatial auto-relation, local spatial auto-relation
