Pronunciation: [ʃˈɪstə͡ʊsˌə͡ʊm] (IPA) 
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by the Schistosome worm. Synonyms for Schistosomes include Schistosoma Mansoni, Schistosoma Haematobium, and Schistosoma Japonicum. These worms are responsible for the transmission of the disease which affects millions of people worldwide. The Schistosome lifecycle involves the release of eggs into water sources, which hatch into larvae that infect snails. The snails release more larvae that can infect humans when they come into contact with contaminated water. Common symptoms of Schistosomiasis include fatigue, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood in urine or stool. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential in managing the disease and preventing serious complications.
