What is the definition of a paratenic host and how does it relate to the transmission of parasites?
A paratenic host is an organism that can harbor a parasite without the parasite undergoing any development or multiplication. The parasite remains in a dormant state until the paratenic host is consumed by the definitive host, where the parasite can then continue its life cycle. This allows the parasite to be transmitted to the definitive host through the paratenic host.

Is a mammalian embryo a parasite?
No. Although its biological behavior is like that of a parasite, it is not, by definition, a parasite. This isn't really a useful answer, but it's not really a useful question. It's like saying your newborn child doesn't think George Bush is a very good President. Well, he doesn't think he's a bad President either. Calling something a parasite describes a relationship where one organism lives at the expense of another. And the embryo does live at the expensive of the mother/host. However, a parasite by definition cannot be the same species as its host. So an embyro, no matter how much it harms the mother, cannot technically be a parasite. Again, it just isn't useful to categorize an embryo as a parasite or not a parasite. It doesn't add or subtract anything to our understanding of what the embryo actually does. You would also have to argue that the host gets no benefit from reproducing. I think a biologist would laugh himself silly if you said that to him.
