parasites feed on the body of their host without causing any harm to the host
pathogens harm the host

Mankjs: but it seems not all the parasites are disease causing.
Mankjs: parasites do harm

Hey friend,

Here's your answer,


Parasite is a small plant that lives on or inside another animal or plant and gets its food from it.

It lives on or within the host cell for all of or part of its life.

It may cause harm to the host or might just weaken it.

However,

Pathogens are disease causing organisms that definitely cause harm to the cell. The organisms that are pathogenic in nature surely cause disease in the host organism.


Hope this helps!!!!!
