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

cellula ospite
Definition:
In biologia, il virus designa un gruppo di organismi, di natura non cellulare e di dimensioni submicroscopiche, incapaci di un metabolismo autonomo e perciò caratterizzati dalla vita parassitaria endocellulare obbligata, costituiti da un acido nucleico (genoma) rivestito da un involucro proteico (capside). Quando un virus riesce a penetrare all’interno di una cellula con la quale è venuto in contatto, il suo genoma si integra nel materiale genetico della "cellula ospite" alterandone così il patrimonio genetico e obbligandola a sintetizzare acidi nucleici e proteine virali e quindi alla replicazione del virus. Il genoma virale può essere costituito da DNA o da RNA, cosicché si distinguono virus a DNA o desossivirus e virus a RNA o retrovirus.

Example sentence(s):
  • Si tratta delle seguenti proteine virali: 4 proteine non strutturali (due proteasi, l’elicasi e l’RNA polimerasi RNA-dipendente) e una proteina strutturale dell’envelope. Le quattro proteine non strutturali sopra menzionate sono enzimi chiave nel ciclo di replicazione del virus e la glicoproteina dell’envelope è indispensabile per le interazioni del recettore virus-cellula durante l’adsorbimento del virus alla cellula ospite. - insalutenews.it  
  • Nell’ambito della lotta contro un nuovo virus (o un nuovo patogeno) come il coronavirus, è fondamentale analizzare i meccanismi che portano il virus ad infettare la cellula ospite, per poter identificare potenziali target terapeutici. - fedaiisf.it  
  • È stato suggerito che, queste molecole siano in grado di entrare nella “bolla”, che si forma intorno al virus in seguito alla fusione con la cellula ospite e modificarne il pH, impedendo così che l’infezione prosegua. - quotidianosanita.it
