Relating to or caused by parasitic animals that infect joints.
From Greek 'arthron' (joint) + 'zoikos' (of or relating to animals). An adjective form describing diseases or conditions caused by joint parasites.
This adjective represents a historical dead-end in medical theory—doctors hypothesized 'arthrozoic' diseases, but modern medicine discovered that most joint problems come from wear, immunity, or infection, not creatures.
