The fresh water mollusc, Lymnaea tomentosa, the intermediate host of the liver fluke is heavily infested under natural conditions with ectocommensal annelid, Chaetogaster limnaei. These annelids which destroy the larval stages of Fasciola hepatica have been observed in the laboratory. The association of C. limnaei with the snail intermediate host is of value in exploiting a control measure against economically important liver fluke disease.
淡水软体动物——绒毛沼螺，是肝吸虫的中间宿主，在自然条件下，其体表大量寄生着外共生环节动物——湖沼腹毛虫。在实验室中已观察到这些环节动物会破坏肝片吸虫的幼虫阶段。湖沼腹毛虫与蜗牛中间宿主的这种关联，对于开发针对具有经济重要性的肝吸虫病的控制措施具有重要价值。
