if the host dies the nutrients die with it so parasites will die as well, until they find a new host
Because it would deprive itself of its food-source. Parasites thrive by feeding off a 'host' - rather than catching their own food. If they kill off the host - they either have to find another host - or die !

Scavengers, or parasites. Scavengers wait for prey to be killed by something else, or to die by natural causes, and then eat them. Parasites eat other animals while they are still alive and cannot survive without the host animal.
Parasitism .
Fish can get parasites that harm them. Dogs can also get harmed by heartworms those are parasites. Humans can also be harmed by parasites. there are many parasites that can affect people.
You worded your question pretty confusingly.Parasites live off the host that they are infecting, so technically the parasites are begins supported by the host itself. The role of the parasites are to infect a suitable host and start eating their energy up. That could result in the death of the host, when the population of the parasites grow.partnershostsholderscarriers
The Answer is ...IT CAN and IT CAN'TIt can kill a host when they are greater in number butIt can't kill a host when they are only few in numbers.BUT...... Parasites like leeches would be advantageous if they/it won't kill the host.-kiara
Parasites get benefit but host is harmed .Parasites are highly modified .
By being parasites and doing what they do best, living off its host
Parasites identify a specific host cell that they can partner with.
