Viral immunology is the study of how the immune system responds to and interacts with viral infections. This includes understanding how viruses evade the immune response, how the immune system recognizes and eliminates viral pathogens, and how vaccines can be developed to prevent viral infections. Researchers in this field investigate the mechanisms of viral pathogenesis, immune evasion strategies, and the development of antiviral therapies. Understanding viral immunology is crucial for developing effective treatments and vaccines for viral diseases.
