No, schistosomiasis is not autotrophic. Schistosomiasis is caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes, which are heterotrophic organisms. They obtain their nutrients by feeding on the host's tissues and blood rather than producing their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, as autotrophic organisms do.

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by flatworms called schistosomes. It is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Prevention strategies include controlling the freshwater snails that act as intermediate hosts for the parasite, providing access to safe water sources, and promoting hygiene practices. Treatment involves medication to kill the worms.
