The killing by an organism of a cell in another organism by means of the rupture of cell membranes and the loss of cytoplasm. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. Any process by which an organism has an effect on another organism of the same or different species. Any process in an organism that results in the killing of its own cells or those of another organism, including in some cases the death of the other organism. Killing here refers to the induction of death in one cell by another cell, not cell-autonomous death due to internal or other environmental conditions. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the killing by an organism of cells in another organism. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the killing by an organism of cells in another organism. Any process in an organism that results in the killing of cells of another organism, including in some cases the death of the other organism. Killing here refers to the induction of death in one cell by another cell, not cell-autonomous death due to internal or other environmental conditions. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the killing by an organism of cells in another organism. Any process mediated by an organism that results in the death of cells in a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction.
