Omphiscola glabra can serve as an intermediate host for several digenean trematodes.

Moreover, a recent report suggests that the species is also susceptible to Fascioloides magna infection.

Famous quotes containing the word parasites:
“Shy and proud men ... are more liable than any others to fall into the hands of parasites and creatures of low character. For in the intimacies which are formed by shy men, they do not choose, but are chosen.”
