Definition
Relating to or caused by ectozoa, or describing organisms that live as external parasites on other animals.
Etymology
From Greek 'ekto-' (outside) + 'zoon' (animal) + '-an' (relating to); formed in the 1800s as parasitology developed as a scientific field.
Kelly Says
The distinction between ectozoan and endozoan parasites was revolutionary for medicine—doctors realized some diseases came from creepy crawlies on your skin, not mysterious vapors!
