The morsus parasitica split from it's ancestor, the morsus friga, as a result of a mutation that allowed morsus friga to live inside of the digestive tracts of living organisms, and feed off of their ingested food. It reproduces quickly through mitosis, and will usually begin to effect it's host's normal bodily functions within 72 hours of contact.
