English term or phrase: host cell
Definition from Merriam-Webster:
A living cell invaded by or capable of being invaded by an infectious agent (such as a bacterium or a virus).

Example sentence(s):
  • Membrane fusion, they explained, is a multi-step process that begins with the virus recognising that it's found the right type of cell to infect. To do this, the virus receives feedback from the chemical environment, including cues like the receptor that the host cell presents, the study noted. The virus then attaches to the host cell receptor by way of the spike protein on its surface, it said. India Times
  • Other host pathways determined to be highly important in SARS and MERS-CoV replication include vesicle trafficking within the endoplasmic reticulum of host cells. It has been determined that the replicase-transcriptase machinery of the coronavirus assembles at the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and viral structural proteins assemble within the host ER, making it an essential cellular component and potential drug target to block both viral genome replication and capsid assembly in the formation of new virus particles during infection. Drug Target Review
  • And although the mechanism by which ivermectin works against the virus is not known, Wagstaff suggested it is likely that, based on its action in other viruses, the drug acts to stop the virus dampening down the host cells’ ability to clear it. GenEng News

gastheercel


Definition from own experience or research:
Cel van een organisme waaraan een virus zich kan hechten, om er vervolgens in binnen te dringen of zijn erfelijk materiaal erin te brengen. Daarna wordt deze cel gedwongen virusdeeltjes te vermeerderen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Virussen kunnen zich niet zelf vermenigvuldigen, daar hebben ze de machinerie van hun gastheercel voor nodig. - KNAW  
  • Een virus koppelt zich aan een cel van de gastheer en injecteert vervolgens het eigen erfelijk materiaal in die cel. Andere type virussen versmelten geheel met de gastheercel. - Wikipedia  
  • Gastheercellen maken gebruik van allerlei mechanismen om zich te wapenen tegen een virus infectie. Virussen hebben daar vaak weer een antwoord op. - Nemo Kennislink  

Explanation:
Bij plantenvirussen ook waardplantcel genoemd.
