The phrase "a strong host range" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, virology, or ecology, where it describes the variety of hosts that a particular organism, such as a virus or parasite, can infect.
Example: "The new strain of the virus has a strong host range, affecting multiple species across different ecosystems."
Alternatives: "a broad host range" or "a wide host range".
B. bombysepticus oral infection the host silkworm triggered a strong host response.
Once a pathogenic microorganism crosses the natural barrier of its host, it has to face a strong host immune response.
This in turn induces a strong host response.
All significant population MUs in the occlusial mandible were between those using alternate hosts suggesting a strong host-population interaction.
Evidently, one should be more cautious when using insects for biocontrol than were the enthusiasts who introduced R. conicus, which was already known to have a fairly wide host range (Strong 1997).
Alternatively, the current pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus may have a broader host range and stronger virulence than viruses in the past.
Adaptive evolution in biological control organisms is most likely in cases like T. jacobaeae with human-assisted spread, genetic variation, strong suppression of the target host, a broad host range, and maladaptation to the new environment (Thrall et al. 2011).
The wilt-causing fungus Verticillium albo-atrum is a strong candidate for encountering Agrobacterium in planta, as it has a similar wide host range, infecting root and crown.
with a wide host range (Crosswhite and Crosswhite, 1970).
Similar presence absence patterns of pathogenicity-related genes were shown to be strong determinants of host range in plant pathogens, e.g., between lineages of the rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, the wilt pathogen Verticillium dahliae, and lineages of the Leptosphaeria maculans Leptosphaeria biglobosa species complex (Couch et al. 2005; de Jonge et al. 2012; Grandaubert et al. 2014).
