You don't have Google? There are hundreds of links! Look up Earthworm Parasite.

I meant a link stating that the parasites that parasitize worms can be transfered to fish.

they might carry some diseases, but doubtful they carry those which can be transmitted to fish, especially in the case of mealworms

Oh, yeah! Good point. I'm boiling the critters anyway.
