The 34 pages that link to Parasitism, each with the reason it gives.

• PredationCompared with: Unlike typical predation, parasites usually exploit hosts without immediately consuming them.

• Biological pest controlRelated: Parasitoids develop in or on individual pests, usually killing them.

• MutualismCompared with: It reverses mutualism’s shared benefit into benefit for one partner and harm to the other.

• Ambush predationCompared with: A parasite exploits a host over time rather than killing it with a sudden strike.

• CarnivoryRelated: Parasites consume host tissues or resources without usually killing the host immediately.

• SymbiosisBroader topic: It captures symbiosis with costs to the host.

• CommensalismCompared with: Commensalism excludes the harm to the host that defines parasitism.

• Host–parasite interactionNarrower topic: Host–parasite interaction is the biological form of this broader ecological relationship.

• Chemical defenseRelated: Chemical defenses can interfere with parasites that exploit an organism as a host.

• Cleaner fishCompared with: A cleaning encounter can shift toward parasitism when the cleaner's feeding harms the client.

• EctoparasiteNarrower topic: Ectoparasitism is a form of parasitism in which the parasite occupies the host’s exterior.

• Spider predationCompared with: Unlike typical spider predation, parasitism usually exploits a host over time rather than killing it promptly.

• HostNarrower topic: The host–parasite relationship is a specific form of parasitism.

• AcariRelated: Many acari exploit animals or plants, though parasitism is only one acarine lifestyle.

• Sit-and-wait predationCompared with: Unlike a predator, a parasite typically exploits a living host over time.

• ParasitoidNarrower topic: Parasitoid development is a specialized form of parasitic interaction.

• Plant-animal interactionCompared with: Some plant-animal relationships impose costs rather than reciprocal benefits.

• AgnathaRelated: Some lampreys attach to fish and feed on their body fluids and tissues.

• MixotrophyCompared with: Organic uptake in mixotrophs is not necessarily dependence on a living host.

• PhytophagyCompared with: Some plant feeders blur the line between phytophagy and parasitism through prolonged resource use.

• Fig waspCompared with: Some fig wasps exploit figs or other wasps without returning pollination benefits.

• ParasitologyNarrower topic: This interaction is the central relationship parasitology investigates.

• HematophagyNarrower topic: Many blood feeders are parasites, but hematophagy describes diet rather than interaction.

• Parasitoid waspCompared with: Unlike ordinary parasites, parasitoids characteristically kill the host during development.

• PearlfishCompared with: Certain pearlfish consume their hosts’ internal tissues, unlike harmless sheltering associates.

• TrypanosomaRelated: Trypanosomes depend on vertebrate hosts and often invertebrate vectors.

• AntiparasiticNarrower topic: Antiparasitic treatment addresses this host–parasite relationship.

• CoprophagiaRelated: Parasite eggs and cysts in feces can reinfect animals that consume them.

• NematomorphaNarrower topic: Nematomorph larvae develop inside living arthropods, using them as hosts.

• OrthonectidaNarrower topic: Orthonectids depend on host tissues during their plasmodial phase.

• TachinidaeCompared with: Tachinids are parasitoids: their larvae normally kill the host, unlike typical parasites.

• EntorrhizomycetesNarrower topic: The class’s fungi obtain resources from living plant hosts.

• ProtistologyRelated: Protist parasites use specialized life cycles to exploit hosts and cause disease.

• Society (animal behavior)Compared with: Exploitation can occur within social groups, complicating the idea that group life is uniformly cooperative.
