Hello there!
Viruses are quite smart for something that lacks a literal brain in there, I will give it that, alright 😂
There are some which I could somewhat remember that have interesting abilities to evade the host immune response and I will be talking about the human one.
- Ebola Virus/EBOV: Produces a lot of free decoy spike proteins into the host's bloodstream causing a lot of inflammatory response from the white blood cells entering the blood vessels, making the vessels too permeable hence the haemorrhage. This is the cytokine storm.
- Human respiratory syncitial virus/HRSV: This virus produces like 2 or 3 immune suppressive proteins to prevent the production of interferon-alpha, which is super essential for us during a viral infection, and some other host immune response.
- Herpes Simplex Virus-1/HSV-1: Infects and lives in neuronal cells near the lip area so it can evade host immune attack response since white blood cells can't attack them and the virus stays there for life, constantly causing cold sores and trying to reach the brain.
- Human Immunodeficieny Virus/HIV: This one doesn't infect any ordinary cell, this infects the T Helper cells which are crucial for activating the T Killer cells and B cells in the adaptive immune system branch. When there are no T Helper cells, the immune system fails, making the person vulnerable to many measly infections and also has high chance of getting cancer. They stay hidden for months and years until the person finds that they are suffering a lot and it is too late.
Hope this helped you! 😃

∙ 14y agoVirus infected patients develop neutralizing antibodies. These are blood proteins, that glob onto the virus and would allow patients to defend themselves - if they were facing only one target. But, the virus disguises itself enough to get away from the antibodies. The virus eventually wears down the immune system into exhaustion.

How can protozoa avoid being killed by the host immune system?
if you take dinosaur skin , and rub it on your face you can avoid protozoa.
Why haven't viruses wiped out the human population?
Viruses haven't wiped out the human population due to many people being able to take enough precautions to avoid it all together. Other people are immune to certain viruses that might prove fatal to others. Also, vaccines have been created to reduce deaths among illneses such a the cold virus, flu, fever, etc. So: -taking precautions to avoid the virus -Being immune -Vaccines are just a few answers to why the human population hasn't been wiped out by viruses. Oh, and because we reproduce rather frequently.

What classifications of viruses can change its own code to avoid detection?
Polymorphic
How is it possible to catch a cold many times in one season?
The common cold viruses are able to mutate very rapidly to avoid the defenses that you may have acquired from prior exposure and an immune response. The defenses that work on one mutation don't work on the next mutation. You won't catch the same exact virus strain a second time, but you can easily catch a different one since the common cold spreads quickly from person to person.
Viruses that periodically change their code to avoid detection are called?
polymorphic virus
Why are viruses such successful agents?
Viruses are successful because a) They use the DNA of their infected host to replicate themselves. b) They mutate (change) their basic characteristics to avoid being irradicated by either the host's immune system or antiviral agents. c) Many viruses are quite hardy and able to live in a dormant state until a suitable host is found, at which time they replicate quickly, are discharged by the host's cells, and are then available to infect other suitable hosts.
