Parasites can be macro or micro, ecto or endo.
Parasitoids live in close association with their host at the host's expense.
Enslaver parasites manipulate host behavior to complete their life cycle.
Hosts have defenses against parasites, including immune systems, biochemical defenses, and defensive symbionts.
Parasites have mechanisms for host evasion and tolerance.
Coevolution is involved in host-parasite interactions.
The dynamics of host-parasite populations can be affected by parasites.
