Un parasite est un organisme qui puise ses ressources chez un autre organisme vivant, l'hôte, généralement plus grand. L'interaction se prolonge si bien que l'hôte n'est pas seulement exploité comme source d'énergie, mais également comme habitat. 2, record 1, French, - h%C3%B4te

The final link in the chain of infection is a susceptible host. Susceptibility of a host depends on genetic or constitutional factors, specific immunity, and nonspecific factors that affect [the host's] ability to resist infection or to limit pathogenicity. 3, record 2, English, - susceptible%20host

[La] capacité de survivre dans l'environnement est importante parce qu'elle permet qu'un nombre suffisant de microorganismes atteigne un hôte réceptif et puisse pénétrer cet hôte. Plus un agent est résistant dans l'environnement, plus il a de chance de survivre assez longtemps et d'entrer ainsi en contact avec un hôte réceptif. 3, record 2, French, - h%C3%B4te%20r%C3%A9ceptif

Examples include cryptands and crowns (where there are ion-dipole attractions between heteroatoms and positive ions), hydrogen-bonded molecules that form clathrates (e.g. hydroquinone and water), and host molecules of inclusion compounds (e.g. urea or thiourea). Van der Waals forces bind the guest to the host molecules in clathrates and inclusion compounds. 2, record 4, English, - host

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Comme exemples d'hôtes, on peut citer : (a) les cryptands et les couronnes, pour lesquels la formation du complexe fait intervenir des interactions stabilisantes ion-dipôle entre des hétéroatomes et des ions positifs, (b) les molécules liées entre elles par des liaisons hydrogènes, qui forment des «clathrates» ( par exemple, l'hydroquinone et l'eau), et (c) les molécules réceptrices des composés d'inclusion ( par exemple, l'urée ou la thiourée). Dans les clathrates et les composés d'inclusion, la cohésion entre l'hôte et l'invité est assurée par des forces de van der Waals. 2, record 4, French, - h%C3%B4te
