Parabionts

A parabiontic relationship is a system of organic individuality generated by the interaction of two organisms or (possibly and/or usually) mixtures of them. In essence, this is a hybrid parabiosis, which is not the result of either a sexual or non-sexual process, or a mixed one, formed with the participation of both. For this reason, it is often called parasexual hybridoparabiosis. This definition perfectly reflects the essence of the phenomenon, since a parabiotic compound requires only two organisms, and sexual interaction plays an equally important role in it
