Human-Virus Interactions are shaped by evolutionary dynamics, reflecting the ongoing coevolution between host organisms and viruses. Viruses can exert selective pressures on host populations, influencing the evolution of host genetic factors involved in immune responses and antiviral defense mechanisms. Host organisms, in turn, develop genetic adaptations to resist Viral Infections. Polymorphisms in genes related to immune recognition, signaling pathways, and antiviral effectors contribute to individual variation in susceptibility and response to Viral Infections. The selective pressures imposed by viruses drive the diversity of host immune genes, influencing the outcomes of viral encounters. Viral evolution is characterized by rapid mutation rates and genetic diversity, allowing viruses to evade host immune responses and adapt to changing environments. Emerging viruses, zoonotic spillovers, and viral outbreaks highlight the dynamic nature of Human-Virus Interactions and the challenges in predicting and managing novel infectious threats. Host responses to Viral Infections involve not only innate and adaptive immune mechanisms but also non-immunological factors such as the microbiome, metabolic pathways, and host-virus interactions at mucosal surfaces. Understanding the ecological and evolutionary context of Human-Virus Interactions is essential for predicting the emergence of new viral pathogens, devising effective prevention strategies, and developing therapeutic interventions.
