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

Portuguese translation:célula hospedeira
Definition:
Uma célula viva invadida por ou capaz de ser invadida por um agente infeccioso (como uma bactéria ou um vírus), agindo como um “portador” desse agente e garantindo a replicação, ou seja, a geração de outra partícula do agente.

célula hospedeira


Definition from own experience or research:
Uma célula viva invadida por ou capaz de ser invadida por um agente infeccioso (como uma bactéria ou um vírus), agindo como um “portador” desse agente e garantindo a replicação, ou seja, a geração de outra partícula do agente.

Example sentence(s):
  • A característica que pode ser considerada a própria definição de vírus é o fato de eles serem parasitas intracelulares obrigatórios: “sem ocupar uma célula viva, é impossível se replicarem, ou seja, gerarem outra partícula viral.” Esse “portador” chama-se hospedeiro, ou célula hospedeira. Assim, existem vírus que infectam plantas, cachorros, gatos, e também, os vírus que infectam os humanos. - Agência Alagoas  
  • Ainda assim, esses agentes infecciosos podem causar danos reais em quem for infectado. Para contaminar uma célula, os coronavírus usam sua proteína spike para se ligar à membrana celular do hospedeiro. Uma vez dentro, o vírus passa a comandar a célula, obrigando-a a replicar seu material genético milhares de vezes. Isso acontece até que, eventualmente, a célula hospedeira fica sobrecarregada e morre, causando uma "inundação" de material genético do vírus no organismo, o que leva à contaminação de novas células. - Revista Galileu  
  • Ao contrário dos organismos celulares, os vírus não contêm os mecanismos bioquímicos necessários para a sua própria replicação. Para se replicarem necessitam de utilizar os mecanismos bioquímicos de uma célula hospedeira para sintetizar e montar as suas estruturas. Quando uma partícula viral entra em contacto com uma célula hospedeira, o ácido nucleico viral, e em alguns vírus algumas enzimas, são introduzidos na célula hospedeira. - Bayer PT  

Explanation:
Também foi encontrado "célula hospede", mas poucas referências.
