Accession:GO:0020003 term browser browse the term
Definition:Membrane-bounded vacuole within a host cell in which a symbiont organism resides. The vacuole membrane is derived from both the host and symbiont.
Comment:Note that this term does not have a relationship to 'vacuole ; GO:0005773' because it does not fit the definition of a vacuole; the parasitophorous vacuole was so named because it resembles a vacuole in the microscope.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: SCV;   parasitophorous vacuole
 narrow_synonym: Salmonella-containing vacuole;   bacterium-containing vacuole;   pathogen-occupied vacuole
