Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is usually not spread directly from one person to another. It usually spreads by exposure to water in which the snails that serve as the host for the parasite are found. An infected person passes the parasites on to the snails, where the parasite continues its life cycle, and is released into the water to infect another person.

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.
