We present systems of parabosons and parafermions in the context of Lie algebras, Lie superalgebras, $\mathbf{{\mathbb Z}_2\ \times {\mathbb Z}_2}$-graded Lie algebras and $\mathbf{{\mathbb Z}_2\ \times {\mathbb Z}_2}$-graded Lie superalgebras. For certain relevant $\mathbf{{\mathbb Z}_2\ \times {\mathbb Z}_2}$-graded Lie algebras and $\mathbf{{\mathbb Z}_2\ \times {\mathbb Z}_2}$-graded Lie superalgebras, some structure theory in terms of roots and root vectors is developed. The short root vectors of these algebras are identified with parastatistics operators. For the $\mathbf{{\mathbb Z}_2\ \times {\mathbb Z}_2}$-graded Lie algebra $so_q(2n+1)$, a system consisting of two ensembles of parafermions satisfying relative paraboson relations are introduced. For the $\mathbf{{\mathbb Z}_2\ \times {\mathbb Z}_2}$-graded Lie superalgebra $osp(1,0|2n_1,2n_2)$, a system consisting of two ensembles of parabosons satisfying relative parafermion relations are introduced.
