Chaetogaster limnaei, an oligochaete was always found infesting Bulinus (Phy.) globosus, B.(B.) forskalii and Lymnaea natalensis in Bo, Sierra Leone, living below the shell or embedded in the mucus of the foot. The worms had no preference for snails with trematode infection. The population was highest in the dry season when fewer snails were infected by trematodes. This is suggested to be a result of the protection the worms give to snails against invading miracidia.
毛腹虫（Chaetogaster limnaei），一种寡毛纲动物，在塞拉利昂博城总是寄生于球拟沼螺（Bulinus (Phy.) globosus）、福氏拟沼螺（B.(B.) forskalii）和纳塔尔椎实螺（Lymnaea natalensis），生活在贝壳下方或嵌入足部黏液中。这些蠕虫对感染吸虫的蜗牛没有偏好。在旱季，当感染吸虫的蜗牛较少时，这种蠕虫的数量最多。这被认为是蠕虫为蜗牛提供保护以抵御侵入的毛蚴的结果。
