and developing within the host. It is a required part of the life cycle of that parasite.

RATIONALE: Endoparasites live inside the host. Ectoparasites live on the outside of the
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
host. Facultative parasites can live as well outside the host as inside the host; host infection
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
usually occurs accidentally. Other accidental parasites may include parasites that usually
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
infect other animals.
