The two main types of parasite hosts explained.

In case you were wondering, the paratenic or transport host (not mentioned in the video) acts as a substitute intermediate host in which no development of the parasite takes place. It is not necessary for the life cycle of the parasite to complete, but it can help the spreading and the survival of the parasite.
