How do parasites travel from host to host in a forest community?

Parasites in a forest community can travel from host to host through various means, including direct contact between hosts, ingestion of infected hosts by predators or scavengers, and contamination of the environment with parasite eggs or larvae. Some parasites may also utilize intermediate hosts, such as insects or other animals, to transmit between primary hosts in the forest community.


What are animals that eat other animals called predator or parasite?

Animals that eat other animals are called predators. Predators hunt and consume their prey for sustenance, playing a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. In contrast, parasites live on or in a host organism and derive nutrients at the host's expense, often without killing it. Thus, while both predators and parasites interact with other animals, they do so in fundamentally different ways.
