The phrase "alteration of host" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, technology, or any field discussing changes made to a host entity, such as in a computer network or a biological organism.
Example: "The alteration of host DNA can lead to significant changes in the organism's traits and characteristics."
Alternatives: "modification of host" or "change in host".

This represents another case of alteration of host phenotypic plasticity by a viral infection.
Donor T cell transfusion, which is a long-standing approach to prevent allograft rejection, operates indirectly by alteration of host T cell immunity.
In this report, we describe the use of the P. aeruginosa T3SS as an alternative method to deliver functional Cre recombinase to the nuclei of differentiated and pluripotent cells, achieving DNA recombination through loxP sites on the chromosome, resulting in alteration of host cell gene expression.
Several rhoptry kinases have been shown to be involved in virulence and alteration of host cell transcription [ 7, 14].
There are few reports to show the alteration of host microRNA profile by S. aureus cell wall components [ 2, 40].
We posited that early stages of emergence of certain host-microbe maladaptations involve environment induced alterations of host and microbial processes, typically characteristic of the kind of adaptation.
Further studies of the virulence attributes of each virulence factor packaged in OMVs are expected to provide insights into the association of A. baumannii pathogenesis and alterations of host cell biology.
By further identifying the neuronal basis of these parasite-induced alterations of host behavior, we hope to increase our understanding of the neurobiology of the selection and initiation of behaviors and the associated neural mechanisms underlying changes in responsiveness, both prime issues in the study of motivation.
Absence of host associations in Greece may reflect the frequent alterations of host crops that are dictated by the market.
Although several bacteria are implicated in alterations of host cell DNA methylation [ 23], this is the first demonstration that infection by an intracellular bacterium alters host DNA methylation patterns on a genome-wide scale.
