This type of symbiosis is commensalism. Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms in which one benefits from the other and the other organism is not affected in any way. From the question above, in the relationship, microscopic mites are the commensals as they benefit from their host; humans and humans neither benefit nor are harmed.
