Term Name:	symbiont-mediated activation of host autophagy
Synonyms:	activation of host autophagy by virus, autophagy of host cells involved in interaction with symbiont, induction by virus of host autophagy, positive regulation by symbiont of host autophagy, positive regulation by virus of host autophagy
Definition:	A process in which a symbiont initiates, promotes, or enhances the normal execution of autophagy in the host cell. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. For example, some viruses are able to activate host autophagy as a cellular survival mechanism, hence delaying or inhibiting apoptosis.
