Attempt to give a definition of the parasitism phenomenon from the symbiotological point of view is proposed. Parasites are the organisms, existence of which is possible only in the parasitic systems of any degree of complexity. Outside the parasitic system the parasite is not capable to realize its main vital function including feeding, dispersion of reproduction. The parasitism as the biological phenomenon could be defined as the existence of organisms in the structure of parasitic systems.
本文尝试从共生生物学的角度给出寄生现象的定义。寄生虫是这样一类生物，其存在仅在任何复杂程度的寄生系统中才有可能。在寄生系统之外，寄生虫无法实现其包括摄食、繁殖扩散在内的主要生命功能。寄生作为一种生物学现象，可以定义为生物在寄生系统结构中的存在方式。
