Chytridiomycota (also called as chytrids) and Microsporidia (unicellular parasites that forms the spores) represent the ancient phylogenetic group of saprophytic and parasitic fungal members. Recent records obtained from protein and composite gene sequencing revealed some similarities between these two phylogenetic groups of fungi .

Question

Definition Definition Organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. A parasite can directly or indirect harm the host. There are two kinds of parasites: internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as an endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite. Protozoa and helminths are examples of major human parasites.
