Japanese: 寄生連鎖 - キセイレンサ
Parasitic chain - Xylens
In a food chain, a parasite is a link in the "chain" that takes nutrients from the host. In most food chains, the higher the predator, the fewer the population there is, but in a parasitic chain, there are more parasites than hosts. → Food chain → Detritivore chain
