@genegodbold for activation we dont have references; can you please provide some?
Pathogen proteins that induce or activate apoptosis
Bacterial
Viral
Eukaryotic (Note that there are dozens if not hundreds of virulence factors from fungal plant pathogens that induce some form of programmed cell death. But I'm picking two mammalian pathogens)
Change definitions to "A process in which a symbiont gene product affects/inhibits/activates host programmed cell death/apoptosis, leading to a decrease in the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death /apoptosis in the host cell. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
