parasitism
The relationship of a tick to a deer is parasitic, not symbiotic.
The Tick feeds off of the deers blood. The deer is not killed so the relationship is parasitism.
The symbiosis relationship of a deer and a tick is parasitism. The deer is the harmed host and the tick is harming the host.
Parasitic.
Both. Ticks are essentially parasites and can have bacteria that may affect a deer's health. Too many ticks can also harm a deer.
Tick.....................jk...............jk................no jk its really a tick
They don't live together intentionally, but because deer do take refuge under trees and in brush, and ticks live in trees and brush, they're thrust together just like humans are...Because deer tick suck the deers blood. The deer is the deer ticks' host.
Parasitism is a non mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other. This would be the tick drinking the elephant's blood.
NOT a symbiotic relation. It is a parasitic relation. In symbiosis, each thing gives some benefit to the other. A tick provides no benefit to the dog, it just drinks their blood. It gives them nothing but disease.
There's three reasons a deer ticks mostly get on deers and a tick mostly get on humans head or body. A deer tick gets on ticks and a tick just sucks blood from a human. A deer tick is much harder to get off then a tick.
