Illustration of a hematophagous leech, an invertebrate annelid (phylum Annelida, class Hirudinea), depicted as an elongated, dorsoventrally flattened organism with a prominent anterior oral sucker used for attachment and blood feeding. In biological hierarchy, the sucker is a specialized anatomical structure on the organism. In parasitology and invertebrate zoology, leeches act as ectoparasites on vertebrate skin, secreting salivary anticoagulants such as hirudin (HIR) to maintain blood flow during feeding.
