The parasite lays an egg that enters the stomach or intestine. It grows in that organ, until it starts sucking up the host's nutrients. This can make the host weak, which makes the immune system become sick.
A parasite lives on another organism. Not all microorganisms are parasites. Many parasites are very small and are called microorganisms. Many algae are microscopic and are microorganisms put do not live on any other organisms. Mosquitoes need blood and will bite humans but they can be seen. They are parasites since they need a blood meal.
Endoparasites are parasites that live inside their host's body. These parasites can reside in the digestive tract, blood vessels, tissues, or organs of their host. Common examples include tapeworms, nematodes, and flukes.
Schistosomiasis is caused by parasitic worms called Schistosoma. These worms infect humans through contact with contaminated water sources where the parasites live.
Yes, vultures can carry parasites such as ticks and mites, which can potentially be transferred to humans. It is important to avoid direct contact with vultures or their habitats to reduce the risk of parasite transmission.
Tape worms are parasites that eat digested material. I don't think you can classify them as carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores.
Roundworms can also be parasites to humans.
Lice are parasitic insects that must live, feed and reproduce on the body of a living host and they are parasites of humans
Probably not, as parasites mostly adapt to a single host. Specializing on dog means they can´t live on humans.

no, parasites are just inside the human body
A mosquito is not considered a scavenger, since they eat meat. Instead, they are considered to be parasites, because they live on the blood of humans.
Humans aren't parasites because parasites are living things that suck the life out of another animal that it infected, called a host. Since humans get their energy from foods they eat and not energy they leeched from another living thing, they are not classified as parasites.
Some worms, or intestinal parasites, in humans are contagious. These parasites are called zoonotic. These worms include hookworms, whipworms and roundworms.
Yes, certain parasites can cause weight gain in humans by affecting the body's metabolism and nutrient absorption.
Yes. The parasites are usually transmitted to humans via animal feces.
