    Schistosomiasis is a major public health problem caused by parasitic flatworms that can cause serious disease in humans. It is transmitted through contact with fresh water infected with parasite larvae that can penetrate human skin, eventually developing into adult worms that live in blood vessels. Preventive measures include improving access to clean water and proper sanitation to stop transmission, as well as mass drug administration of praziquantel treatment.
