The differences between parasites and predators are listed below:

CriteriaParasitesPredators
DefinitionParasites are organisms that get nutrients from the host.Predators are organisms that prey upon other organisms.
TypesThere are three types of parasites that are found in humans such as protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.The four types of predation include carnivory, herbivory, parasitism, and mutualism.
SizeThey are mostly smaller than the host organism.Predators are larger and stronger than the prey.
LocationThe endoparasites such as protozoa and helminths live inside the host and feed on their nutrients.They feed over their prey from the outside.
HostThey do not kill the hosts.They kill the hosts and feed on them.
