it depends upon what parasite and what host.
examples:
1. the phorid fly and leaf cutter ant; the larvae of fly eats the ant from the inside
2. misquito and homans; female misquito injest blood for protein
3. ticks and humans; ticks can give us lyme disease

This habit of parasites may emerge to be harmful for he host body as the parasites draw their nutrition for their own existence.

Organisms that travel do so because it is an effective strategy for avoiding predation, leaving regions with unfavorable conditions, entering regions with favorable conditions, finding mates, and finding hosts. A secondary cause of parasite movement is of course that many attach themselves to their hosts and thus travel wherever the host travels, the movements of the host likely dictated by the concerns of predation, food, mating, etc.
