Why is it important for an ectoparasite to stay undetected by its host?

Ectoparasites must remain undetected by their hosts to ensure their survival and reproductive success. If a host detects the presence of an ectoparasite, it may initiate grooming behaviors or immune responses that can eliminate the parasite. Remaining undetected allows the ectoparasite to feed and reproduce without interference, thereby enhancing its fitness and the likelihood of passing on its genetic material to the next generation. Additionally, undetected ectoparasites can exploit their hosts over extended periods, maximizing resource intake.
