    The document outlines the life cycle of Schistosoma mansoni, a parasite that causes schistosomiasis. The cycle begins when cercariae released from infected snails penetrate human skin, then develop into schistosomulae. The schistosomulae mature and mate within the human host, and the females produce eggs that travel to the bladder and intestines to be released through feces or urine, completing the cycle if the eggs hatch in water and infect snails.
