In the Himalayas, one example of a parasitic relationship is between the Himalayan black bear and various ectoparasites, such as ticks and fleas, that feed on the bear's blood. Another instance involves the plant Rafflesia arnoldii, a parasitic flower that attaches to the roots of host plants and derives nutrients, often harming the host in the process. Additionally, certain fungi, like those in the genus Cordyceps, infect insect hosts, ultimately killing them to reproduce and spread. These relationships illustrate the diverse interactions between species in the unique Himalayan ecosystem.
