Question
Both host and the parasite tend to co¬evolve, against each other.
✓

Answer

  1. Host and parasitic relationship is most specific. This means that for a particular parasite there is specific host.
  2. Many parasites have evolved to be host-specific as they can parasitize only a single species of host. Therefore, during evolution, they both co-evolve together, against each other.
