A Review of Host-Parasite Relationships
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Host parasite relationships result from prolonged associations between organisms living in a given environment. The nature and extent of the association will determine the type of relationship existing between the co-habiting organisms. Host-parasite associations usually give rise to four main relationships namely parasitism, mutualism, commensalism and phoresis.
