Question

Give some example of ectoparasites and endoparasites.​

Answer 1

Parasites may be grouped into ectoparasites and endoparasites. Parasites that live outside the host are called ectoparasites whereas those that live inside the host are called endoparasites. ... Some of these leeches, e.g. Piscicola geometria – a fish leech species, may transmit spring viraemia carp virus to a carp host.

Answer 2

An ectoparasite lives on the outside of its host; a flea is an example of an ectoparasite. Endoparasites, such as tapeworms, live within their host.
