Are parasites carnivores?

By definition, a parasite lives within or on a host and derives its nutrition at the expense of the host. By definition, a carnivore is a meat eater, meaning that it derives its nutrition from animal flesh. Therefore, not all parasites would be carnivores, as some parasites do not consume animal flesh, but rather obtain nutrients from what the host consumes (i.e. an adult tapeworm living in the intestine).However, there are parasites that do consume host tissue (i.e. a hookworm) and therefore, by a technicality, these can be considered carnivores. However, the term isn't traditionally used to describe parasites.
