Prevention strategies aim to reduce the number of cases of trematodiases globally and lower infection rates, alongside stopping reinfection of individuals who have been infected before.
Public health programs are necessary prevention strategies that aim to raise awareness about the transmission and cause of trematodiases.
Food safety and hygiene practices are also implemented to reduce transmission of the parasites through food and water.

Most trematodiases is transmitted through eating raw aquatic plants and animals such as fish, crustaceans, crabs, watercress, frogs and snails.
Health education programs aim to outline how transmission of disease can be prevented by raising awareness of food safety practices.
This includes spreading information about the importance of heating food in eliminating the chance of contracting trematodiases, as well as the importance of cleaning utensils, cutting boards and other equipment to prevent cross-contamination.
These education programs are also used to raise awareness to retailers in order to prevent consumers from infections.
The Food and Drug Administration recommends that fish which will be consumed undercooked should be placed in low temperatures and frozen under -20 degrees Celsius for at least a week, or under -35 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 15 hours, as freezing removes any chance of transmitting parasites to consumers.

Using data from previous years can also be used to create mathematical models that allow for predictions of how the disease is transmitted, and where it can be effectively intervened in order to stop the increase in cases.
Improving access to clean water is another method used to prevent the transmission of trematodiases through water.
Water sanitation and treatment of sewerage is used to prevent the continuation of the cycle of infections.

There is no vaccine for foodborne trematodiases that can be used to prevent infections.
The World Health Organisation has implemented various methods to control the rates of infection by mapping data in endemic areas and reviewing implemented activities by monitoring infection and incidence rates.
