What is Parasite?

Do you know what a parasite is?

I think there are many people who have a bad image.
But there are parasites that are helpful.
First do you know the definition for Parasite? Parasites are organisms that live in the bodies of humans and animals and take food and nutrients as their own.
I don't think it's a very good image.However, there are some interesting parasites that live inside animals and do nothing wrong.

Therefore, on this site, we will introduce the types of parasites and their characteristics and attractions.


        Difference Between Bacteria, Microorganisms and Parasites
  
 Do you know the difference between bacteria, microbes and parasites?The main difference between these three is...

Microorganisms mean "small organisms" and include parasites, molds, yeasts, bacteria and viruses.

Bacteria are prokaryotes without a nucleus.

Parasites are organisms that feed on or inside humans and animals.



Although these three are often thought to be the same,there are differences like this.Many people probably don't know about it.

        How are you involved in the ecosystem?



The relationship diagram looks like this. Sometimes only the parasite benefits, and sometimes both the parasite and the host benefit.As an example of cleaning symbiosis, a relationship has been created in which Otohime shrimp rides on large fish and eats parasites to clean up. Such fish are also called cleaning fish.
