Abstract

Due of the features of ontogeny of parasites and their specific habitat (other living organisms) the usual methods for free-living forms of maintaining the stability and prosperity – increasing number of specimen and increasing fecundity, coupled the expansion of the areas – usually turn out to be partially or completely unsuitable. To overcome this impasse, parasites use other ways, some of which are considered in this article.
