उत्तर
- Parasites that feed on the external surface of the host organism are called ectoparasites. The most familiar examples of this group are the lice on humans and ticks on dogs.
- Endoparasites are those that live inside the host body at different sites (liver, kidney, lungs, red blood cells, etc.).The human liver fluke (a trematode parasite) is an endoparasite.
