Called strange animal - louse-eater language. This is one of the most unusual in the world of parasites.



3-4 centimeters crustacean enters the body through the gills of fish and fish bites into the language. Over time, the language is dying due to lack of blood, and the parasite replaces it with his body. Fish can use the parasite, as in ordinary language, and apparently no harm, except for the loss of the language of this parasite is not. This is the only known case of a parasite replaces the body with all its functions.
