It harms a parasite to have its host die because the host is what the parasite depends on. If the host dies then the parasite will have nothing to depend on and die.
Parasite
commensalism
a parasite feeds from the host. sometimes making the host die.
The answer is parasitism, because parasites harm their host.
An example of a parasite would be a tick, the host would be a human. A tick could give the human lyme disease, which would cause harm to the human.
Either the parasite moves on or it dies along with the host. It really depends on the type of parasite.
A parasite lives in a close relationship with another organism, its host, and causes it harm. The parasite is dependent on its host for its life functions. If it did help the host, then it would be a symbiotic relationship which benefits both organisms.
Viruses are similar to parasites because both require a host to survive and both destroy the cells in which they multiply (cause harm to the host).
there is no type of parasitism that doesnt harm the host. parasitism by definition means: an organism living within another larger organism where the parasite benefits from the host and the host is harmed (diseases).when the parasite is benificial to the host (in case of tryconymphs in coacroaches that helps them to digest cellulose) the relation is called symbiotic relation and not parasitism
A host parasite relationship is when the parasite lives off of the host, feeding on him and relying on him to survive. This negatively effects the host, sometimes causing it to die.
A parasite lives on another organism (host) at the expense of the host. The host is being harmed while the parasite is benefiting.
