host immune system phagocytosis of pathogen present
Textual definition
A pathogen host interaction phenotype where the host immune system activates the phagocytosis of a pathogen (GO:0006911).
Suggested parent term
pathogen modulation of host immune system process phenotype
Just to note: Although phagocytosis is not restricted to engulfing pathogens, it is also used to mop up cell debris, in our case we are annotating pathogen-host interactions so it seems sensible to place term under the 'host immune system' branch.
