No. Is that necessary? The rules are usually clear when an ability is meant to affect only certain subclasses of targets.

When the rules specifically talk about Leech/Machines as being a special case, but make no mention of Leech/Plants, or Leech/Molluscs, I think it's fair to assume that all living beings are affected equally, with no exceptions.

In fact, I find this rather fair, since Leech-as-is is pretty expensive. Reducing it to a not very effective combat ability while keeping the price seems unfair to me.
