By definition a parasite is harmful. Any number of diseases that you can think of caused by bacteria, viruses, worms, lice or amoebae are parasites. Their job is not to live with you but to use you as a source of food and to make more parasites like themselves. Some parasites do live a long time on you or in you but they always cause harm.
What else can I help you with?
Do parasites capture and kill their prey before eating it?
Parasites typically do not kill their host, as they rely on the host for survival. They adapt to live relatively harmlessly within their host to avoid detection and prolong their stay.
What is the relationship in which bacteria harm its host?
The answer is parasitism, because parasites harm their host.
Do parasites multiply?
Yes, parasites can multiply within their host by laying eggs or producing larvae. This allows them to increase in number and potentially cause harm to the host's health.
Is it beneficial for the parasite to kill its host?
It is rare, but yes sometimes. A few parasites don't directly kill their host, but make them do "careless things" that make it more likely the host will get eaten by the parasite's next host.
What is multicellular animal parasites?
Multicellular animal parasites are organisms that live on or in a host organism, obtaining nutrients and shelter at the host's expense. These parasites can cause harm to the host and often have complex life cycles involving multiple stages and hosts. Examples include tapeworms, roundworms, and flukes.

What effect does parasites presence usually have on its host?
it slowly kill the animal

What is a species that benefits in a parasitic relationship?
By definition none do. Parasites harm the host that they prey upon.

These parasites can cause harm to the host and often have complex life cycles involving multiple stages and hosts. Examples include tapeworms, roundworms, and flukes.
What is true about a parasite?
A parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism (the host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the expense of the host. Parasites can cause harm to the host's health and reproduction. Parasites have evolved various strategies to adapt to their host environments and maximize their survival.
Why do parasites weaken but not kill their hosts?
The parasite keeps the host alive because the host is its source of everything. If the host dies, the parasite dies.
What are paracites?
Parasites are organisms that live on or in a host organism and rely on the host for nutrients and shelter. They can cause harm to the host by competing for resources, causing damage to tissues, or transmitting diseases. Examples of parasites include ticks, tapeworms, and malaria-causing parasites.
Organisms called parasites are?
Organisms that live in or on another organism (host) and benefit from the relationship at the expense of the host. Parasites can cause harm or disease to the host while gaining nutrients or protection for themselves. Examples include tapeworms, fleas, and ticks.
