Dear Resp007,
I'm happy to help. :-)

That's a false split. Those two ways of saying this are both perfectly fine, and they mean the same thing.
hosts in part of their lifecycle
hosts for part of their lifecycle

Both of these denote that part of the lifecycle is the time when the snails are the hosts.
Does this make sense?
Mike :-)
I accept this is no proper split.
But for part of life-cycle makes better sense as I feel for indicates the duration of time.
but I feel in part of life-cycle is wrong not only in this sentence but also structurally.
experts comment :)
