Ecology
Pila species are a host of a trematode Multicotyle purvisi.[6]
Human use
The shells of Pila are used in traditional ethnomedicine for weakness by Saharia people in Rajasthan, India.[7]
Pila ampullacea and Pila pesmei are some of the rice field snail species traditionally eaten in Thailand that have been displaced by the invasive golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata.[8]
