What happens during the disease - schistosomiasis, unspecified

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection caused by a type of flatworm called a schistosome. it is spread through contact with contaminated water, which contains the larvae of the parasite. once the larvae enter the body, they migrate to the bloodstream and eventually mature into adult worms. the adult worms then produce eggs which are released into the environment, and the cycle continues. the disease can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fever, abdominal pain, and anemia. it can also lead to serious complications such as liver and kidney damage, and can even be fatal in severe cases.
