Parent and child terms associated with " GO:0044403 symbiosis, encompassing mutualism through parasitism". "GO:0044403 symbiosis, encompassing mutualism through parasitism", was developed by the PAMGO consortium to emphasize the continuum of microbe-host relationships. "GO:0051701 interaction with host", a child term under GO:0044403, has several child terms that represent key processes in the interaction between diverse microbes and their host, irrespective of the symbiotic partner (mutualist or pathogen). To describe the fact that a particular symbiont-host association results in susceptibility, the term "GO:0009405 pathogenesis", a sibling of "GO:0051701 interaction with host", can be used.
