Based on the criteria under questioning the parasites can be classified in several ways - there are ecto- and endo- parasites to start with based on their location on/in the host. Then we have facultative and obligate parasities; while the former can survive in the absence of their host, the later can only survive if the host is present eg., all viruses. Further parasites can be classified based on their taxa - they may be bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoans etc... Parasites can be classified based on what they feed like sanguivorous which feed on blood eg., leeches (can also be classified as ectoparasite and facultative parasite).
