The phrase "affected by the host" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the influence or impact of a host on something, such as in biology, technology, or social situations.
Example: "The virus was significantly affected by the host's immune response, leading to a decrease in its virulence."
Alternatives: "influenced by the host" or "impacted by the host".
THE PARASITE: -In what form is the parasite (bacterium, virus, fungus, etc).? -How is the parasite benefited or affected by the host?
Jensen, P. O., Kolpen, M., Kragh, K. N. & Kuhl, M. Microenvironmental characteristics and physiology of biofilms in chronic infections of CF patients are strongly affected by the host immune response.
Motivated by this observation, the article examines whether the degree to which immigrants experience greater attachment to the host nation (i.e. belonging) from having host country citizenship is affected by the host country's approach to citizenship.
The results obtained by these studies are in contrast to earlier reports, where a combination of MALDI-TOF MS and electrophoresis methods was suggested for the identification of Monilinia species on fruit samples, because the MALDI-TOF results were affected by the host [22].
This is further supported by the level of antagonism in the cross-phylogeny experiment being significantly affected by the host ant genus origin of the bacterial symbionts.
Most importantly, our experiment shows that the pathogen success is not only dependent on its own evolutionary history but is also hugely affected by the host genotype.
In addition, the breeding system of the parasite may also be affected by the host-parasite interaction.
Oligonucleotide compositions, however, are inevitably affected by mononucleotide composition, and therefore, separation (self-organization) accomplished on oligonucleotide BLSOMs should be significantly affected by the host-dependent mononucleotide composition.
The aim of this study was to determine whether infection success of arriving strains – their establishment and subsequent growth – is affected by the hosts' responses to prior infection.
Proportion of tillers with aphids per pot and colony size (number of aphids per tiller) as affected by the endophyte, host genotype, and herbicide dose was analyzed using Poisson distribution and log link function only for experiment 1.
For example, Duneau et al. 2011 [ 26] found that two distinct stages of infection; spore activation and attachment, differed dramatically in host-genotype specificity; activation was not affected by host genotype while spore attachment was strongly affected by the interaction between host and pathogen genotype.
