In general, a tropism is a biological phenomenon indicating a specific kind of response to specific kinds of stimuli. This includes host tropsim or viral tropism, which is the specific infectivity of a pathogen to a particular host cell or tissue type. See also sensitivity and specificity; false positive, false negative; biological specificity.
