In the context of immune evasion, a certain type of virus has developed a mechanism to avoid detection and destruction by the host's immune system. This virus secretes a protein that binds to and deactivates interferon molecules, which are crucial for antiviral defense. How does this mechanism primarily benefit the virus?

Which bacterial strategy involves the enzymatic degradation of complement components to evade the immune response?

In the study of immunology, which mechanism do parasites commonly use to evade the host's immune response?
