Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices are correct. Schistosomiasis is caused by a blood fluke that has a complex life cycle involving a freshwater snail as an intermediate host. The parasite's eggs are shed in the feces or urine of infected humans into freshwater, where they develop into miracidia, which infect snails. Inside the snail, the parasite multiply asexually and produce cercariae, which are released into the water. Cercariae can penetrate human skin when they come into contact with it, then travel through the bloodstream to the liver and ultimately to the bladder and intestines where they mature into adult worms.
