Humans
Yes, a susceptible host is an individual who has little or no immunity to infections caused by a transmitted pathogen. This lack of immunity can result from various factors, including age, health status, or previous exposure to the pathogen. As a result, susceptible hosts are at a higher risk of becoming infected when exposed to infectious agents.

Ticks sucking blood from a host organism is an example of parasitism. The tick grows from its host, but contributes nothing to the host organism.
No, drug-susceptible cells and drug-resistant cells are equally likely to infect a new host.
Host tissue refers to the cells, tissues, or organisms that provide the environment for a parasite or pathogen to live and reproduce. It can be human, animal, or plant cells that are susceptible to infection or infestation by a foreign organism.
A host animal - is any creature that has a parasite. For example a dog (host) and a flea (parasite)
Organisms are susceptible to viruses when the virus can effectively enter the host cells, replicate within them, and evade the host's immune response. Factors such as the organism's immune system strength, genetic makeup, and prior exposure to related viruses can also influence susceptibility.
From taking immunosuppressive drugs, transplant patients are susceptible to the same "opportunistic" infections that threaten AIDS patients--pneumocystis pneumonia, herpes and cytomegalovirus infections, fungi, and a host of bacteria.
American crows, in particular, are extremely susceptible to WNV, and have become the virus' primary host population.
A susceptible individual who can harbor the disease is often referred to as a "host." This individual provides an environment for the pathogen to thrive and potentially cause illness. Host factors such as age, immune status, and genetics can influence the likelihood of becoming infected.
