parasite
Any organism that lives on or in another living organism (the host) and gets its food from or at the expense of the host. The host does not benefit from the parasite. Many parasites cause disease in humans. People with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV, are at a higher risk for parasitic infections than people with healthy immune systems.
