Broadly I’d classify them as endo (inside) and exo (outside) parasites to describe if they live inside or on a host. There are also different ways to classify parasites using the taxonomical system (domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species), such as the order kinetoplastida which includes the genus’ trypanosoma and leishmania, which cause trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis.
