What is an example of paratitism?

Answer 1

Parasitism is a form of symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits at the expense of an organism of a different species. Fleas living on a dog or fleas that bite on human is one example.

Answer 2

The bot fly and the human being.

Only the bot fly larvae live as parasites. Dermatobia hominis, the human botfly, is the only species of botfly known to use humans as the host to its larvae.

Another example of parasitism is fleas and mammals.

parasites that live on the hosts surface are called ectoparasites (e.g. fleas and some mites)

parasites that live inside the host are called endoparasites (e.g. tape worms or the protozoan of the genus Plasmodium, that causes malaria).

Answer 3

An example of parasitism is the relationship between a tick and a dog. The tick feeds off the dog's blood, causing harm to the dog in the process, while the tick benefits by obtaining nutrients for its survival.

Answer 4

leeches take their nourishment from their host, but the host is harmed and often dies

Answer 5

One example of parasitism is a tape worm living inside of a human feeding off of what we eat.
