  Strategies Used by Microbiological Pathogens to Evade Host Immunity
  Author(s): Jacek Lamarca*
  
  Microbial pathogens have evolved intricate strategies to evade and manipulate the host immune response, enabling them to establish successful infections. Understanding these strategies is crucial for developing effective therapeutic interventions. This article aims to explore the various mechanisms employed by microbial pathogens to evade host immune defenses. We will discuss key strategies used by pathogens, including antigenic variation, immune modulation, subversion of phagocytosis and inhibition of complement activation. Furthermore, we will highlight the importance of unraveling these evasion mechanisms in the development of novel treatments and vaccines. By gaining insights into host-pathogen interactions, we can enhance our ability to combat infectious diseases and protect public health... Read More»
