Question

hello mates....what is parasitism..???​

Answer 1

Answer:

PARASITISM

A broad definition of parasitism would include all varieties of inter-specific associations in a gradient of interdependence. Therefore, associations defined as commensalism, mutualism and symbiosis are distinct features of a same phenomenon – parasitism.

The host-parasite-environment system is extremely dynamic and several balance points in this system are reached during its mutual evolution. Any attempt to define the limits of each kind of association as well as the limits between benefits and harm is worthless. Indeed, in nature these boundaries are indistinct and unsteady since they are distinct aspects of the same parasitism phenomenon
