Is the Snow Leopard a predator prey parasite or a host?
The best answer would be a predator, but it could also be considered a host.
What does the size of the host population control?
The size of the host population can control the spread and prevalence of diseases. In a larger host population, there may be more individuals for a disease to spread to, potentially leading to faster transmission. Conversely, in a smaller host population, diseases may not spread as easily and could be contained more easily.

What is trophic transmission in cestodes?
Trophic transmission occurs when the encysted larval form of a parasite are transmitted to the final host during the consumption of the intermediate host. They then mature in the final host. In simple terms - the young of the parasite live in the gut of a prey animal. That prey animal is then consumed by a predator. If it is the correct predator (trophically transmitted parasites can be species-specific) then the parasite will mature and reproduce in the gut of the predator.
Does a leech have tricks to kill prey?
A leech does not have predator and prey relationships, so it does not kill its prey. A leech is a parasite. It simply attaches itself to a host.
Explain the relationship between parasites and hosts?
Parasites benefit from being with the host all the while harming the host. The host is nice and tolerant that it allows the parasite from it without it benefiting from the parasite at all.
How is a predator different from a parasite?
Parasitism involves one organism (parasite) living off of another (host) in a harmful manner but without killing the host. Predation involves one organism (predator) killing another (prey) for food.
Is a flea a prey Or a predator?

What does host of the host population controls?
