Accepted Answer

Endoparasites are parasites that live inside the body of their host. Accidental parasites refer to parasitic organisms that do not normally live on or inside the host, but accidentally infest it. Facultative parasites are organisms that can live as either parasites or free-living organisms. Ectoparasites, on the other hand, live on the surface of their host's body.
