The host-pathogen interaction is explained as how microbes or viruses prolong themselves within host organisms on a molecular, cellular, organismal or population level. This word is most commonly used to introduce to disease-causing microorganisms however they may not cause infection in all hosts. Because of this, the definition has been expanded to how well-known pathogens withstand within their host, whether they cause disease or not.
