A process in which a symbiont gene product affects host apoptosis, leading to a change in the frequency, rate or extent of apoptosis in the host cell. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
Comment:
Note that term is to be used to annotate gene products in the symbiont. To annotate host gene products, consider the biological process term 'regulation of apoptosis ; GO:0042981'.
