parsites are of two types- ectoparasites and endoparasites...............
endoparasites are those parasites which live inside the body of its host.
ectoparasites are those parasites which live outside the body of the host.
endoparasites take up the food that the host eats as they live inside the body of the host. eg- worms inside the stomach take up the digested food from the stomach.
ectoparasites, as they live outside the body of the host take up the nutrition from outside the body of the host. eg- mosquitoes suck blood from our body.
Some examples of ectoparasites include the tick and a mosquito. Examples of endoparasites include the hookworm and the bacteria giardia.
Indeed, ectoparrasites manifest on the outside of the bode of the host, ecto means outside. Examples are fleas and thicks. Endoparasites are the opposites and live inside the body, endo means inside.
Endoparasites are organisms that live inside the host's body and can be classified into several types. The primary categories include protozoa, such as Giardia and Plasmodium; helminths, which encompass flatworms (e.g., tapeworms) and roundworms (e.g., nematodes); and ectoparasites, though primarily external, some can be considered endoparasitic during certain life stages. Each type can cause a range of diseases and health issues in their hosts, affecting various organs and systems.
yes
The two types of parasites are:- 1) Ectoparasites :- Parasites which live on the external surface of the host are called ectoparasites. Examples :- 1. Animals - Ticks, Mosquitoes, Bed-bugs, Head louse, Leeches etc. 2. Plants - Cuscuta, Loranthus 2) Endoparasites :- Parasites living within the host are called endoparasites. Examples :- 1. Animals - Liverfluke, Tapeworm, Ascaris, Plasmodium 2. Plants - Many fungi.
An organism that lives inside the body of its host is called an "endoparasite." Endoparasites rely on their host for nutrients and protection, often causing harm to the host in the process. Common examples include certain types of worms and protozoa. In contrast, organisms that live on the surface of their host are termed "ectoparasites."
