Parasites Blood Live Mammals Suggest Carries Oxygen Adapted

The low amount of dissolved O2 in the plasma forces parasites to adapt to anaerobic respiration.

La poca cantidad de O2 disuelto en el plasma obliga a los parásitos a adaptarse a la respiración anaeróbica.

Front Certain parasites live in the blood of mammals.
Suggest why, even though blood carries oxygen, these parasites are adapted to respire
anaerobically.
Back little O2 dissolved in plasma, so need to adapt
