Viral Immune Escape: A Constant Public Health Challenge
Received Date: Jul 01, 2025 / Accepted Date: Jul 29, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 29, 2025
Abstract
Viral immune escape is a critical challenge in controlling infectious diseases, driven by viral evolution and mutations in key
surface proteins. Viruses employ diverse strategies to evade host immune responses, impacting vaccine development and therapeutic
strategies. This review highlights mechanisms of viral immune escape, including those observed in SARS-CoV-2 and influenza, and
discusses cellular and innate immune evasion. The impact of prior immunity and replication fidelity on escape variant emergence
is explored, alongside public health implications and challenges in developing effective countermeasures. Strategies to overcome
immune escape, such as next-generation vaccines and antiviral drugs, are also discussed.
