There is no symbiosis between a flea and a dog. The flea is a blood eating parasite on the dog. There is benefit to the flea but not to the dog so there is no symbiosis.
Parasitism describes this relationship because the heart worms benefit by living inside the dog and giving them a disease, killing and harming the dog.
Parasitism because heart worms live on the dogs and harm them.
dnt know....
they have a parasitism relationship
The relationship of a tick to a deer is parasitic, not symbiotic.
parasitism
It is a parasitic relationship. That means that the relationship is beneficial to the flea, but harmful to the dog.
Parasitism
There is no symbiotic relationship, fleas are parasites.
It's not a symbiotic relationship ! It's a parasitical relationship. In a symbiotic relationship - BOTH organisms benefit form each other. In a parasitical relationship - only ONE of the organisms benefits - usually to the detriment of the other. Fleas suck blood from dogs - which can make the dog ill. The dog gets no benefit.
parasitism
No, the puppies will not be heartworm positive just because their mother or father was. However, having a heartworm positive dog around makes it much more likely that the other dogswill contract a heartworm infection if they are not kept on heartworm preventative regularly (and in the case of puppies started on it early) due to the fact that the heartworm dog serves as a reservoir from which mosquitos pick up infective heartworm larva and then they bite another dog and infect it.
The relationship between dogs and their fleas is not symbiotic as the dog gains no benefit from it whatsoever. The relationship is purely parasitic.
well i hve no idea !!!!!!!!!!
unfortunately for us dog owners, it is. the disease is transmitted by mosquitos, so have your dog take anti heartworm medication before the mosquito season. better take the dog to the vet for a thorough evaluation. a dog can have heartworms but show no symptoms.
