What 2 hosts do a parasite need?
A parasite typically requires two hosts: the definitive host and the intermediate host. The definitive host is where the parasite reaches maturity and reproduces, while the intermediate host is where the parasite undergoes development or larval stages. This two-host life cycle allows the parasite to complete its life cycle and spread effectively. Examples include the malaria parasite, which uses humans as the definitive host and mosquitoes as the intermediate host.

What is different between intermediate host and resiver host?
An intermediate host is an animal that is needed for a parasite to develop through one or more stages of life before being transferred to a definitive host in which the parasite will develop into sexual maturity. A reservoir host is a host that may be an intermediate or definitive host but provides a place where a parasite may "hang out" while enviromental conditions are less than optimal.
