Tagelusplebeius was found housing two ciliate species without apparent host reaction and acting as first intermediate host for two digenetic trematode species of the families Fellodistomidae and Gymnophallidae, by hosting sporocysts (mainly in gonad and digestive gland that results in the replacement of host tissues) and as second intermediate host by housing a gymnophallid
metacercaria. Likewise, T.

Here the cercaria transform into another life stage called
