MEDICAL PARASITOLOGY
76
-Living together of unlike organisms, may involve protection or other advantages to one/ both organisms
SYMBIOSIS
77
- 2 species live together and one species benefits from one the relationship w/out harming/ benefitting the other

78
- 2 organisms mutually benefit from each other
MUTUALISM
79
- 1 parasite, the parasite lives in or on another, depending on the host for its survival
PARASITISM
80
Parasite living inside the body of a host, presence is called (?)
ENDOPARASITE; INFECTION
81
- Parasite living outside of the body of a host; presence is called (?)
ECTOPARASITE; INFESTATION
82
- Found in an organ which is not usually its habitat
ERRATIC
83
- needs a host at some stage of their life cycle to complete their development
OBLIGATE/OBLIGATIVE
84
- may exist in a free living state or may become parasitic when the need arises
FACULTATIVE
85
- Establishes itself in a host where it does not ordinary live
ACCIDENTAL/INCIDENTAL
86
- Remains on or in the body of the host for its entire life
PERMANENT
87
- Free living organisms that passes thru the digestive tract without infecting the host
SPURIOUS/ COPROZOIC
