Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species in which one, the parasite, benefits from a prolonged, close association with the other, the host, which is harmed.
PARASITISM
There's a special type of predator-prey relationship called parasitism. Now you should think about all the creepy crawlies like fleas, viruses, and mosquitoes.
parasitism A form of symbiosis in which the population of one species bene?ts at the expense of the population of another species; similar to predation, but differs in that parasites act more slowly than predators and do not always kill the host.
