These abilities are used by Zerg units and some heroes.

Using this ability, some Zerg units can bury themselves into the ground. This way, they are completly invisible for enemy units until they are detected. However, Psy Storm and Spider-Mines still work.

Parasiteicon

Once a unit is hit, the player will be able to share vision with the targeted unit just like it was one of his own. This works even if the affected unit burrows or cloaks after getting parasited. If used on an enemy detector, it will reveal all cloaked and burrowed units for you too.
