Sexual reproduction or adult form, inside the host
Definitive host
Not normally in humans, does not survive long in humans (zoonosis)
Accidental parasite
Parasites on/in the skin of host (flea)
Ectoparasite
Parasites within the host’s body (hookworm)
Endoparasite
Free living organism that can become parasitic (naegleria fowleri aka brain eating amoeba)
Facultative parasite
Larva stage or asexual reproduction, in the host
Intermediate host
Temporary host in the absence of a definitive or intermediate host (some parasites may survive)
Reservoir host
Host that a parasite survives in, in the absence of an intermediate or definitive host from one location to another
Transport host
Overall structure, infective stage, locomotion, and mode of transmission.
