Category:GO:0046800 ! obsolete enhancement of virulence
![]()
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0046800
name: obsolete enhancement of virulence
namespace: biological_process
def: "OBSOLETE. Any process that activates or increases the severity of viral infection and subsequent disease." [PMID:10587354]
comment: This term was made obsolete because 'virulence' is not a biological process; however, alteration of virulence also does not fit under 'regulation of biological quality ; GO:0065008' because it is a product both of the genotype/phenotype of the infecting organism and the genotype/phenotype of the organism being infected and varies by individual within a species both for the infecting organism and the infected organism.
