Different types of parasites have their own ways of spreading their offspring. Many intestinal parasites spread their offspring to other animals by laying eggs in the fesces. After the fesces are eliminated, other animals can inhale the eggs from the fesces, and then the parasites will hatch out of the eggs inside the new host. They can also spread from a prey animal to a predator when the former is consumed.
BTW: Although the term "parasite" usually refers to parasitic worms in an animal's digestive tract, the technical definition of "parasite" is any organism that gains from another organism, causing harm to the other organism in the meantime.

What are the differences between oviparous and viviparous parasites?
Oviparous parasites lay eggs outside of the host's body, while viviparous parasites give birth to live young inside the host. Oviparous parasites often release eggs into the environment where they can infect new hosts, while viviparous parasites transfer live offspring directly to the host during reproduction.

The life or death of the host is no concern to the parasite. A parasite concern is 1. To find a host 2. Use the host for energy 3. Reproduce 4. Leave the old host and enter a new host for their perpetuation This happens in most of the cases like in TB, malaria, Typhoid, Cholera, African sleeping sickness, Ascariasis, Amoebiasis etc. But there are some parasites which don't kill host and the host doesn't have any effect of the parasites.
