Epizoic

/ˌɛpɪˈzoʊɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or describing organisms that live on the outside surface of an animal host; parasitic in nature.

Etymology

From 'epizoa' with the suffix '-ic'. This adjectival form describes the quality or nature of being an external parasite.

Kelly Says

Epizoic parasites are often the first thing naturalists notice when studying wild animals, and identifying the specific parasites tells scientists incredible stories about where an animal has traveled and what it's eaten.
