These parasites differ from previously described species of Apolocystis in having a larger size range, especially smaller forms in all life cycle stages, and many more sporocysts within the gametocysts.

Limnoperna fortunei caused an increase in the specimen number on the rocky environment studied. The species richness and abundance of different taxa of macroinvertebrates, except mollusks was positively related to the presence and density of L. fortunei. Autochthonous gastropod species conversely, tended to be displaced.
