Schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever and bilharzia, is a disease caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes. The urinary tract or the intestines may be infected. The disease is spread by contact with fresh water contaminated with the parasites. These parasites are released from infected freshwater snails.
Warnings
Untreated, schistosomiasis worms will often live in the body for 4-4.5 years. It is thought that they can last up to 20 years in the human body.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, or blood in the urine. Those who have been infected a long time may experience liver damage, kidney failure, infertility, or bladder cancer. In children, it may cause poor growth and learning difficulty.
