Fleas, ticks and leeches are 3 common parasites
If leeches are moist, water loving critters, then no self-respecting tick would get near it to feed. Ticks prefer mammals or reptiles.
Yes there are there are ticks which suck on your blood. They are related to the leeches and then there are Spiders, tarantulas, for instance, scorpions and mosquitoes.
Leeches are common in tropical forests as are mosquitoes. Both feed on the blood of their hosts and give nothing in return making it a parasitic relationship.
The organism a parasite lives on is called a "Host".
Mosquitoes, Bats, Ticks, and many other parasites/insects
Many parasites do, like fleas, ticks, and leeches.
The two types of parasites are:- 1) Ectoparasites :- Parasites which live on the external surface of the host are called ectoparasites. Examples :- 1. Animals - Ticks, Mosquitoes, Bed-bugs, Head louse, Leeches etc. 2. Plants - Cuscuta, Loranthus 2) Endoparasites :- Parasites living within the host are called endoparasites. Examples :- 1. Animals - Liverfluke, Tapeworm, Ascaris, Plasmodium 2. Plants - Many fungi.
Lichen, Morning Glory, English Ivy, Mistletoe, Worms (those found inside animals and humans), Lampreys, Leeches, Ticks, and Lice to name a few.
No. Leeches are annelids, also known as segmented worms.
Yes, ticks are quite common in the desert. Anywhere there is a patch of vegetation you can be sure that there are ticks laying in wait for a victim. I work with wildlife rehabilitation in the Chihuahuan Desert and have seen fleas, ticks and lice on may animals.
