| parasitism |
A form of symbiosis in which the population of one species bene?s at the expense of the population of another species; similar to predation, but differs in that parasites act more slowly than predators and do not always kill the host. A type of symbiosis in which one organism benefits at the expense of the other, for example the influenza virus is a parasite on its human host. Viruses, are obligate intracellular parasites.
