The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as Armillaria mellea, honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the Orobanchaceae, broomrapes. There are six major parasitic Behavioral ecology#Evolutionarily stable strategy, strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), wikt:trophic, trophicallytransmitted parasitism (by being eaten), Disease vector, vector-transmitted paras ...

''Cymothoa'' is a genus of parasitism, parasitic Isopoda, isopod crustaceans, containing the species listed below. Not all ''Cymothoa'' species are considered parasitic. Some climb onto fish in an act known as phoresy. *''Cymothoa asymmetrica'' Pillai, 1954 *''Cymothoa borbonica'' Schiödte & Meinert, 1884 *''Cymothoa brasiliensis'' Schiödte & Meinert, 1884 *''Cymothoa bychowskyi'' Avdeev, 1979 *''Cymothoa carangii'' Avdeev, 1979 *''Cymothoa carryensis'' Gourret, 1892 *''Cymothoa catarinensis'' Thatcher, Loyola e Silva, Jost & Souza-Conceiçao, 2003 *''Cymothoa cinerea'' Bal & Joshi, 1959 *''Cymothoa curta'' Schiödte & Meinert, 1884 *''Cymothoa dufresni'' Leach, 1818 *''Cymothoa elegans'' Bovallius, 1885 *''Cymothoa epimerica'' Avdeev, 1979 *''Cymothoa eremita'' (Brunnich, 1783) *''Cymothoa excisa'' Perty, 1833 *''Cymothoa exigua'' Schiödte & Meinert, 1884 *''Cymothoa eximia'' Schiödte & Meinert, 1884 *''Cymothoa frontalis'' H.
