Parasites And Hosts

The video explains the difference between predators and prey, and introduces the concept of parasites. Unlike predators, parasites do not kill their hosts immediately but live on or inside them, causing harm. Fleas are given as an example of parasites that live on animals like dogs and cats. The video also discusses how parasites can spread diseases, using malaria as an example. The malaria parasite, Plasmodium, is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes, which act as vectors. The video concludes with a summary of the parasite-host relationship.
