Schistosomiasis is caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes, which enter the human body through skin contact with contaminated freshwater. Once inside, the larvae migrate to the bloodstream, where they mature into adult worms. The adults reside in the blood vessels, laying eggs that can cause inflammation and damage to organs, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and in severe cases, liver or bladder issues. The immune response to the eggs contributes significantly to the disease's pathology.
