How are ectoparasites different from endoparasites?
parsites are of two types- ectoparasites and endoparasites............... endoparasites are those parasites which live inside the body of its host. ectoparasites are those parasites which live outside the body of the host. endoparasites take up the food that the host eats as they live inside the body of the host. eg- worms inside the stomach take up the digested food from the stomach. ectoparasites, as they live outside the body of the host take up the nutrition from outside the body of the host. eg- mosquitoes suck blood from our body.

What are ocean ectoparasites?

Why is it important for an ectoparasite to stay undetected by its host?
Ectoparasites must remain undetected by their hosts to ensure their survival and reproductive success. If a host detects the presence of an ectoparasite, it may initiate grooming behaviors or immune responses that can eliminate the parasite. Remaining undetected allows the ectoparasite to feed and reproduce without interference, thereby enhancing its fitness and the likelihood of passing on its genetic material to the next generation. Additionally, undetected ectoparasites can exploit their hosts over extended periods, maximizing resource intake.
