fleas and ticks
Parasites are any organism that lives off another organism. They can be anything from ticks and fleas to microscopic bacteria and viruses.
Rickettsia is the bacterium that lives in lice, fleas, ticks, and mites. It causes diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and typhus when transmitted to humans through the bites of infected arthropods.
They feast on insects if given the chance, and rarely carry ticks; they groom often and eat their ticks. The average opossum eats 1-3,000 ticks a year. They may have fleas, but the fleas are small and not numerous.
