A parasite (blackhead, parasite) is a living being that has a more or less close relationship with its host and lives at its expense. In the medical sense it is restricted to pathogens from the animal kingdom. Parasitoses of the skin are rare in Central Europe and frequent in tropical and subtropical regions. They are increasingly appearing as long-distance travel diseases.
