No, most parasites do not kill their hosts. They rely on their hosts for survival and typically aim to keep them alive for as long as possible to continue feeding off them.
Some examples of parasites that kill their hosts include parasitic wasps, liver flukes, and malaria parasites. When these parasites kill their hosts, it can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem by reducing the population of the host species. This can have cascading effects on other species that rely on the host for food or other resources, potentially leading to changes in the overall biodiversity and functioning of the ecosystem.
Most parasites rely on their hosts to survive and reproduce, so if they were to kill their hosts, they would lose their source of nourishment. By weakening their hosts, parasites can still continue to siphon off nutrients and resources without causing the host's death, ensuring their own survival. This delicate balance allows the parasite to thrive while the host remains alive, albeit weakened.
Whisky does not have the ability to kill parasites effectively.
No, drinking alcohol does not effectively kill parasites in the body. Parasites require specific medications to be effectively treated and eliminated from the body.
Predation and parasitism are similar because they both involve one organism feeding off of other organisms. They're different because predators kill their prey, while parasites may harm their hosts but won't kill them.
If they are successful then they don't.

Most parasites don't kill their hosts, because it doesn't take all the nutrients from the host. It only needs a certain amount of nutrients. So it will cause some bad effects on host, but it won't cause complete destruction.
Dogs are not parasites because parasites suck the blood of other animals. Dogs are hosts to various parasites, such as ticks and fleas.
Predation is different from parasitism in that predators kill their prey before consumption. Parasites must keep their hosts alive in order to continually feed off of them.
Hosts and parasites interact through a dynamic relationship where parasites depend on hosts for survival, often at the host's expense. Parasites can exploit various resources, such as nutrients or reproductive opportunities, from their hosts, leading to potential harm or disease. This interaction can drive evolutionary adaptations in both parties, with hosts developing defenses against parasites while parasites evolve strategies to overcome these defenses. Overall, the relationship is a complex balance of exploitation and adaptation.
They don't.
The parasite keeps the host alive because the host is its source of everything. If the host dies, the parasite dies.
Yes
Parasites feed off their hosts. Predators feed off their prey. Difference is that parasites want to keep their hosts alive so they can continue to feed off them.
From their hosts. The hosts may be plants, animals or even micro-organisms.
