Abstract

Parasitism is a form of existence. Parasitism means “life of an organism (‘parasite’) at the expense of another organism (host)”. If the profit is on both sides, this is called symbiosis. The host may be damaged but not necessarily. Parasites are therefore mono- or multicellular organisms.
