What is parasitism?

Parasitism is the ecological interaction in which a being lives at the expense of another. The parasite often does not cause immediate death of the host since it requires the host alive to survive.

Parasitism is an inharmonious (negative) interspecific ecological interaction, as although one participant benefit the other is harmed.
