Term Name: symbiont entry into host cell
Synonyms: entry of virus into host cell, phage translocation, viral entry into host cell, viral penetration, virion penetration, virion penetration into host cell, virus entry into host cell
Definition: The process by which a symbiont breaches the plasma membrane or cell envelope and enters the host cell. The process ends when the symbiont or its genome is released into the host cell.
