The phrase "alterations of host" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes or modifications related to a host, such as in biological, technological, or networking discussions.
Example: "The study focused on the alterations of host behavior in response to environmental changes."
Alternatives: "modifications of host" or "changes in host".
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.
In arthropods, Wolbachia normally have a patchy distribution among species and populations, and infection is generally associated with alterations of host reproduction, such as parthenogenesis, killing of male embryos, feminization of genetic males, and cytoplasmatic incompatibility (Werren et al. 2008; Cordaux et al. 2011).
Recent advances in manipulating cofactors include culture conditions or additive alterations, genetic modification of host pathways for increased availability of desired cofactor, changes in enzyme cofactor specificity, and introduction of novel redox partners to form effective circuits for biochemical processes and biocatalysts.
Open image in new window Figure 3 Potential alteration of host mRNA homeostasis by viral RNAs.
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.
