Well as I understand it, the disease is carried by parasites called rat lungworm or something like that, so yeah, its possible for WC to infect CB snails, thats why they should never meet eachother.

I have not heard of a worming method for snails that is 100% effective. Worms can be passed in the poop and the snails can ingest some of it, reinfecting themselves.
