	Not necessarily, sometimes negative effects to the host are 
necessary for the propagation of the parasite.  Take malaria for example, 
it kills 1 million a year, this is how the parasite can get transmitted 
effectively, by reproducing to large enough numbers that a subsequent 
mosquito bite will cause parasites to be taken up and transmitted to new 
hosts.  Unfiortunately this often results in the death of the host.
