Introduction

Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship where one organism, a parasite, benefits at the expense of another, a host. 

In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.
