          • Definition(s)
            • Virus-host interaction is defined as how viruses sustain themselves within the host organisms on a molecular, cellular or population level. Virus–host interaction is a complex phenomenon, often virus- and host cell-specific. The dynamic interactions between a virus and its host are critical for the establishment of acute infections and/or the maintenance of persistent infections, and for the manifestation of the disease.
