Parasites (パラサイト Parasaito?) are an armored insectoid species from Street Fighter 2010. Parasites are aggressive and have a carapace harder than ceramic. They can assimilate a host to control it, also greatly increasing its power. In order to stop those powerful parasites, the Galaxy Police sends the cyborg Kevin Straker to destroy them.
In the English version, Parasites were changed into Cyboplasm, a substance discovered by 'Ken' and Troy. When properly administered, Cyboplasm could make a person several times stronger than normal, helping to keep people alive in other planets. But in large doses, it comes alive and takes over the body and mind of its host, turning them into violent, mindless super beings. One day, Troy was killed and the Cyboplasm formula was stolen, being misused and spreading chaos in several planets.

Trivia
- A large Parasite that covers an entire room appears as a boss in Street Fighter 2010 on the planet Tatowin. Its weak point is a giant eyeball that hangs from the ceiling, and can extend out on a stalk. This Parasite is never given a name in any supplemental sources, and remains one of the few enemies in the game with no proper name.
