Endoparasitism
Endoparasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship where a parasite lives inside the body of its host. These parasites can be found in various organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. Common examples of endoparasites include tapeworms, roundworms, and protozoa. They often rely on their host for nutrients and can cause various health issues.
Endoparasites can reproduce within their host, leading to increased populations that may harm the host's health. In some cases, the host may experience symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, or digestive problems. Understanding endoparasitism is important for managing infections and promoting overall health in affected organisms.
