The attachment of an organism to its host via adhesion molecules, general stickiness etc., either directly or indirectly. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. An interaction between two organisms living together in more or less intimate association. The term host is used for the larger (macro) of the two members of a symbiosis; the various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, commensalism and mutualism. The attachment of an organism to a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction. Adhesion may be via adhesion molecules, general stickiness etc., and may be either direct or indirect. The attachment of a parasite adhesion molecule to a nonidentical adhesion molecule on the microvasculature of a host cell, thereby adhering the parasite to the host cell. The adherence of parasite-infected erythrocytes to microvascular endothelium via parasite proteins embedded in the membrane of the erythrocyte.
