Explain the interactions between host parasite and environment?

I am going to assume that you mean host, parasite, and environment. If this is the case then a parasite is an organism or animal that uses another creature for its survival. Some are completely dependent on their host and feed off nutrients in the hosts body. An example would be the Tape worm that live in other another creatures intestines and would die without a host. These type of parasites often make the host sick and malnourished over time and can cause death. Others only feed and move on such a the vampire bat, which cuts a small incision with it's teeth on an animal, such as a cow or pig, and laps at the blood. After it is full it moves on with the host never the wiser and not harmed. Though these animals could potentially carry diseases such as rabies. The environment has little to do with the interaction or relationship of a parasite and it's host.

What is the parastitc relationship?

A parasite is an animal that lives on another animal. The animal it lives on is called it's host. The parasite could jump on and jump off, like a mosquito, or it could live there permanently, like a louse. The parasite gets something off the host, some benefit. For a flea, for example, the animal it's on, say a dog, provides it with food (blood), shelter (skin/fur), and breeding grounds (if there are other fleas). The dog usually gets very itchy and sometimes even diseased from fleas. The parasite, the flea, benefits from the relationship and the host, the dog, is hurt (to some degree) by the relationship. That is the parasite host relationship, +/-.
