Pathogenic organisms have evolved a number of mechanisms to evade or inactivate parts of the immune system. For each category of micro-organism (viruses, bacteria, parasites), describe two mechanisms that are unique to that category of micro-organism and the impact the mechanism has on the host. Simply stating that the infection will persist or the patient will die is not sufficient.
