Explanation:
What are parasites ?
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.
How do they feed ?
Many parasitic animals, such as fleas, ticks and lice, feed on the blood of larger animals. By attaching themselves to their host, they get a ready meal wherever it goes. Some birds are crawling with this kind of parasite. Nest mites lurk in nests where they suck the blood of the nestlings.
