Do microfish still get worms?

Maybe this is a silly question, but are microfish (pygmy cories, phoenix/mosquito/chili rasboras, etc) still at risk of having worms.  I mean I guess anything can happen but is it typical in these small species, or is it typically only in larger (meaning not these microfish)?  I hope that makes sense?

Is there a general size cutoff under which we don't really see fish get worm infections?

 

Wondering if I need to prophylactically deworm them like I have taken to doing in my other fish!
