Meaning of "ectozoa" in English

Ectozoa are a group of external parasites that live on the surface of their host. These organisms, such as lice and mites, attach themselves to the skin, hair, or feathers of the host, drawing nutrients directly from it. Ectozoa can affect various animals, including humans, leading to discomfort or disease. Unlike endoparasites, which reside inside the host, ectozoa dwell externally and have adaptations that allow them to cling to and navigate the outer body of their host. Their presence can often signify poor hygiene or close contact with infested animals.

Meaning of "ectozoa" in French

In French, "ectozoa" refers to external parasites that inhabit the outer surfaces of living hosts. These organisms, such as lice and mites, are found on the skin, fur, or feathers of their hosts and rely on them for sustenance. The term "ectozoaires" is occasionally used in similar contexts to describe such parasites. Ectozoa can negatively impact their hosts, causing irritation, allergic reactions, or transmitting diseases.
