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! 😃
What else can I help you with?
How do viruses stay hidden?
Viruses can stay hidden by mutating frequently to avoid detection by the immune system. Some viruses can also enter a dormant state within host cells, making them hard to detect and target for treatment. Additionally, viruses can evade the immune response by altering their surface proteins to avoid recognition by antibodies.
How can protozoa avoid being killed by the host immune system?
Protozoa can evade the host immune system by changing their surface antigens to avoid detection and destruction. Some protozoa can also reside within host cells to escape immune detection, or they can suppress the host's immune response by secreting immunomodulatory molecules. Additionally, some protozoa can cause chronic infections by altering their replication rate to avoid being completely eradicated by the immune system.
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.
Why is it hard to get rid of viruses in your body?
Viruses can be challenging to eliminate because they can mutate rapidly, making it difficult for the immune system to target them effectively. Additionally, viruses can evade detection by hiding inside cells or evolving mechanisms to avoid destruction. Lastly, some viruses have the ability to establish latent infections, where they remain in the body in a dormant state and can reactivate later.
Why leishmania lives within macrophages?
Leishmania lives within macrophages because it has adapted to evade the host immune system by exploiting the intracellular environment of these immune cells. By residing inside macrophages, Leishmania can avoid detection and destruction by the host's immune response, allowing it to establish a chronic infection.

What agent causes flu-like symptoms?
if non-lethal: Riot control agent if with choking, vomiting, convulsions or seizures, pinpoint pupils: chemical if burned or reddened skin, vomiting, hair loss: radiological/nuclear to avoid any of these things, distance yourself to lessen you exposure and have a Disaster Response process to have some sort of preparedness.
