They have two intermediate hosts, first is snail and second is fresh-water fish/ crab or water plants except schistosomes (one intermediate host) All schistosomes are acquired by skin penetration by cercariae unlike the other trematodes which are acquired by ingestion of metacercariae in poorly cooked fish or unwashed water plants.
