The relationship of a tick to a deer is parasitic, not symbiotic.
The symbiotic relationship is called parasitism.
The dog is a host, and the tick is a parasite.
parasitism
Well this is a common case of parasite and host. The tick is the type of parasite that keeps its host alive but ticks still carry deadly diseases so the relationship is complicated, but for sure the dog is the host and the tick is the parasite, that does not intentionally kill its host in order to complete its life cycle.
a red tick is a type of coon dog
There is a type of tick called the paralysis tick that if it bites an animal and clings on for too long, it will paralys the animal
no i dont think so
parasitic Paritisms
Ticks are not contagious. A dog can only get a tick from another dog if the tick walks onto the other dog.
The dog would be a host to the tick.
no unless you dye it.
Paratism, in which the dog would be the host and the tick would be the parasite, because it depends on the dogs blood.
A symbiotic relationship involves 2 species livingtogether. Mutualism is when both benefit. Commensalism is when one benefits without harming the other. Parasitism is when one species benefits while harming--but not killing--the other. An example of parasitism would be a tick on a dog. If the dog died, it would stop pumping blood for the tick to consume. In predator-prey relationships, most often one party must die for the other to benefit.
The scientific name for the American dog tick is Dermacentor Variabilis.
A tick gets fed but the dog gets killed. so its parasitic.
