Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between commensalism and parasitism.
Introduction:
In the ecosystem, organisms interactwith each other in many ways. These interactions can be beneficiary or harmful. When two organisms live in association with each other for a shorter or longer period of time than they are known to be in a symbiotic relationship with each other. Symbiotic relationships can be mutualistic, where both the partners are benefitted, commensalism where one partner is benefitted and the other is neither benefitted nor harmed and the parasitic relationshipwhere onepartner is benefitted while the other is harmed.

- Parasites can move between hosts either by horizontal or vertical transmission. Why might those parasites that employ horizontal transmission be more impacted by environmental stochasticity? Host defenses may be impacted by environmental conditions. Pathogenicity may be impacted by environmental conditions. Vectors may be affected by environmental conditions.
