Intimate and obligatory symbiotic relationship between two organisms of different species: greek term for. Parasite is metabolically and physiologically dependent on host. Very common way of life (50% of animal species) (cid:862)t(cid:396)ue pa(cid:396)asites(cid:863) i(cid:374)(cid:272)lude p(cid:396)otozoa(cid:374)s (cid:894)single-celled), helminths (worms), and arthropods (ectoparasites) Host: organism which is the home and or food source for parasite.
