[Ontology-editors] disrupting host processes

Hello - so here's an interesting question...I'm adding some new PAMGO 
terms, one of which is 'disruption by symbiont of host system process'.

We have a term under multicellular organism process 'system process'. I 
feel that we need to make a relationship between 'disruption by symbiont 
of host system process' and 'system process' - but what?

Regulates - or perhaps negatively regulates - would seem the most likely, 
but is that really quite right? If it were, for example, a tumor 
causing the system disruption we wouldn't call that regulation would we?

Jane
