ecological relationships of flukes
Flukes are a type of tapeworm that is parasitic. They have suctioned mouths and are generally not segmented. Most are only a few centimeters long.
Planarians are free-living flatworms, flukes are parasitic flatworms that infect various host animals, and leeches are blood-feeding segmented worms.
Symbiosis is an ecological relationship between organisms of two different species that live together in direct contact. This relationship can be mutualistic, where both species benefit; commensalistic, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected; or parasitic, where one species benefits at the expense of the other.
Blood flukes have a complex life cycle that involves both humans and snails. The adult parasite lives in the blood vessels of humans, where it produces eggs that are passed out in feces. These eggs hatch in water, infecting specific freshwater snails. Within the snail, the parasite undergoes development before being released back into the water to infect humans again.
they get there oxygen from their flukes.........
flukes inhabit the elk veins and feed off of them, causing harm
It is a symbiotic relatiionship, a parasitic relationship, meaning it benefits the parasite but harms the host. Flukes--Parasitic flatworms having external suckers for attaching to a host http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis
A parasitic relationship. The fluke (if it is a blood fluke) takes needed nutrients from the elk's blood, which can harm the elk.
What are blood flukes?
I'm assuming you mean ecological relationship.An ecological relationship is the relationship between organisms in an ecosystem. There are six ecological relationships in which two are oppositional and four are symbiotic. The oppositional relationships are predation and competition. The symbiotic relationships are mutualism, commensalism, amensalism, and parasitism.
They are both scavengers.

competition and predation
There are many types of flukes for different animals. In humans, we can be infected with a couple of types of liver flukes, a lung fluke, and blood flukes.
It is a symbiotic relationship.
parasitism
i think its commensalism
