Larvae from the parasitic worm that causes schistosomiasis | ZEISS Microscopy The parasitic worm that causes schistosomiasis hatches in water and grows up in a freshwater snail, as shown here. Once mature, the worm swims back into the water, where it can infect people through skin contact. Initially, an infected person might have a rash, itchy skin or flu-like symptoms, but the real damage is done over time to internal organs. Image courtesy of o Wang and Phillip A.
