| parasitoid |
Parasitoids differ from parasites in their relationship with the host. In a truly parasitic relationship, the parasite and host live side by side with little or no damage to the host organism while the parasite takes enough nutrients to live on and reproduce without draining the host's reserves in full. In a parasitoid relationship, the host is usually killed after the full development of the other organism. ...
