Infections were found in some fresh-water bodies in Poland (Konin Lakes System) and Ukraine (Danube Basin). The prevalence of infection ranged from 5 to 30%, intensity of infection - 1-2 specimens/mollusk. Free-living species of ciliates, nematodes and chironomides were also discovered during the investigation of S. woodiana in the Konin Lakes System (Poland).
