Parasite Ecology - Understanding Host-Parasite Relationships in Nature #3545704 (License: Personal Use)

This illustrated banner presents a broad spectrum of parasitic relationships across ecosystems: terrestrial (e.g., ticks on mammals, mistletoe on acacia), aquatic (e.g., parasitic copepods on fish), and aerial (e.g., brood parasites like cuckoos). It includes iconic examples such as the parasitic wasp, Plasmodium-carrying mosquito, and coral-dwelling isopods, emphasizing biodiversity and ecological interdependence. The design uses bright colors and clear iconography for accessibility in teaching and outreach.

Used on educational biology or ecology web pages, university course materials, science outreach sites, or museum exhibits to introduce parasite-host dynamics; targets students, educators, and curious learners seeking foundational knowledge.
