	Parasitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Parasites that live inside the body of the host are called endoparasites (e.g., hookworms that live in the host gut) and those that live on the outside are called ectoparasites (e.g., mosquitos).
		Some parasites are social parasites, taking advantage of interactions between members of a social host species such as ants or termites to their detriment.
		Many parasites, particularly microorganisms, evolve adaptations to a particular host species; in such specific interactions the two species generally coevolve into a relatively stable relationship that does not kill the host quickly or at all (since this would be detrimental for the parasite as well; but see parasitoid).

		As this struggle continues, the social construction of meaning proceeds: issues are redefined, and means of action and outcomes are reevaluated; movement organizations, opponents, and countermovement organizations may be discredited; beliefs and ideologies are challenged or refuted; and competing organizations are deemed unreliable.
