Describing a relationship where an organism is parasitized by two different parasites simultaneously or involves two parasitic organisms.
From Latin 'bi-' (two) + 'parasitic' (relating to parasites). This ecological term describes complex multi-organism interactions where hosts are exploited by dual parasitic relationships.
Biparasitic relationships are surprisingly common—an animal can host two different parasite species at once, and sometimes they actually affect each other, making the host's body a tiny battleground between competing invaders.
