Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the life cycle of schistosomes, which are parasitic flatworms causing schistosomiasis.
Identify the intermediate host in the schistosome life cycle, which is essential for the parasite's development before infecting humans.
Recall that schistosomes require a specific freshwater snail species as their intermediate host where larval stages develop.
Compare the options given: mosquito, housefly, tick, and freshwater snail, and recognize that only the freshwater snail serves as the critical intermediate host.
