Most parasites don't kill their host quickly because their survival depends on the host's health and longevity. If a host dies too soon, the parasite loses its habitat and source of nutrients, which can jeopardize its reproduction and spread. Therefore, many parasites have evolved to manipulate their hosts in ways that allow them to coexist for longer periods, often causing chronic illness rather than immediate death. This strategic relationship enhances the parasite's chances of survival and transmission.

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.

Do parasites kill their hosts?
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. Such a host is called Reservoir. The monkey is the reservoir for plasmodium vivax which cause malaria in humans. some parasites are useful and they live along with us as symboints.

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 !
