Ectoparasitism is a biological relationship in which one species, the ectoparasite, lives on the surface of, or attaches to, another species, the host. The ectoparasite obtains its nutrients, such as blood or other bodily secretions, from the host, which is often unable to defend itself effectively against the ectoparasite. Examples of ectoparasites include lice, ticks, fleas, and leeches, which parasitize mammals, birds, and other animals. In contrast to endoparasites, which live inside the host's body, ectoparasites typically live on the host's skin or coats.
Ectopion is a medical term that refers to a rare condition where the eyelid turns outward or upward, caused by an abnormal contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle or by a blockage in the tear ducts.
