What is schistosomiasis and what causes it? Schistosomiasis is also known as Bilharzia. It is a tropical disease caused by a parasitic infection with worms from the Schistosomatidae family. A parasite is an animal that lives on or in another animal and feeds from it. There are three main worm species that cause schistosomiasis in humans: Schistosoma haematobium; Schistosoma mansoni; Schistosoma japonicum; Eggs from the mature worms are passed out (excreted) in the poo (faeces) or urine of an infected person. These eggs can get into fresh water if it is contaminated with human sewage.
