  1. It is the parasite that takes its abode inside the host (infection).

  2. Ectoparasite - it is the parasite that takes its abode on the skin of the host (Infestation).

  3. Obligatory Parasite - It is the parasite that must live on or within a host during or all part of their lives and which die if prevented from doing so.

  4. Facultative Parasite - It is the parasite that is able to live as an independent organism or as a parasite at its own will.

  5. Pathogenic Parasite - It is the parasite that causes injury to the host by its mechanical, traumatic and toxic activities

  6. Nonpathogenic Parasite - It is the parasite that does not cause injury to the host.

  7. Spurious Parasite - It is the parasite of other animals which passes thru the human body without further development or without causing injury or damage.

  8. Intermittent Parasite - It is the parasite which visits and leaves the host at intervals. It is also called temporary parasite.

  9. Intermittent Parasite - It is the parasite which visits and leaves the host at intervals. It is also called temporary parasite.

  10. Permanent Parasite - It is the parasite which lives its whole life from the time of hatching to death in a single host but in which the eggs or cysts are to be transferred to a new host before a second generation develops.

  11. Periodic Parasite - It is the parasite in which its larval stage develops in a host different from that of the adult.

  12. Transitory Parasite - It is the parasite which passes its larval period of development within the body of the host while the adult is free-living.

  13. Incidental Parasite - It is the parasite which occurs occasionally in an unusual host.

  14. Erratic Parasite - It is the parasite which becomes fixed in an organ or habitat which is ordinarily not its usual habitat.

14.Coprophilic Parasite - It is a protozoan organism which is able to live and often multiply in(moist fecal matter outside the body).

  1. Hematozoic Parasite - It is the parasite living inside the red blood cells.

  2. Cytozoic parasite - It is the parasite living inside the cells of tissues.

  3. Coelozoic Parasite - It is the parasite living in body cavities.

Study Notes

Types of Parasites

  • Endoparasite: lives inside the host
  • Ectoparasite: lives on the skin of the host
  • Obligatory Parasite: must live on or within a host during all parts of their lives and dies if prevented from doing so
  • Facultative Parasite: able to live as an independent organism or as a parasite at its own will

Parasite Interactions with Host

  • Pathogenic Parasite: causes injury to the host by its mechanical, traumatic, and toxic activities
  • Nonpathogenic Parasite: does not cause injury to the host
  • Spurious Parasite: passes through the human body without further development or causing injury or damage

Parasite Life Cycles

  • Intermittent Parasite: visits and leaves the host at intervals, also called temporary parasite
  • Permanent Parasite: lives its whole life from hatching to death in a single host, but eggs or cysts are transferred to a new host before a second generation develops
  • Periodic Parasite: larval stage develops in a host different from that of the adult
  • Transitory Parasite: passes its larval period of development within the body of the host, while the adult is free-living

Parasite Host Interactions

  • Incidental Parasite: occurs occasionally in an unusual host
  • Erratic Parasite: becomes fixed in an organ or habitat which is ordinarily not its usual habitat

Parasite Environments

  • Coprophilic Parasite: lives and multiplies in moist fecal matter outside the body
  • Hematozoic Parasite: lives inside red blood cells
  • Cytozoic Parasite: lives inside cells of tissues
  • Coelozoic Parasite: lives in body cavities
