ENDOPARASITES
Endoparasites are organisms that live
inside a host's body and can cause harm.
They can be found in humans and animals
and can cause a variety of health problems-
chronic illness, malnutrition, and even
death.

Ectoparasites are organisms that live on the
skin of a host and depend on it for
sustenance, maturation, and multiplication.
They are parasites that live on the external
surface of hosts and are in direct contact
with the external environment.
