monogenea are ectoparasitic while trematoda are endoparasitic

What are blood flukes?
There are many types of flukes for different animals. In humans, we can be infected with a couple of types of liver flukes, a lung fluke, and blood flukes.
ecological relationships of flukes
It is a symbiotic relatiionship, a parasitic relationship, meaning it benefits the parasite but harms the host. Flukes--Parasitic flatworms having external suckers for attaching to a host http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis
