Endoparasites: cuterebra (robust bot flue) is endoparasitic only as larvae, the mother fly lies eggs on the ground. When a mouse walks close they explode and grab on the hairs of the mouse. Try to find an opening through rectum/nose and stay in there. They puncture a hole to breathe and eat the flesh from the inside. So worms are in there with moose too: fluke: endoparasites that use robins as their definitive host. They use snails as intermediate hosts in the water.
