Introduction :- Pathogens are disease causing organism's ( mostly micro-organisms) . Pathogens are diverse in nature , they include viruses , bacteria and as well as multicellular eukaryotes . Virulence is generally defined in terms of the degree of pathogenicity of a Pathogen , it means that the ability of a Pathogen to make entry into it's host and cause the disease by multiplying itself inside the host. And immune evasion is a technique or a number of strategies which are used by the pathogens to evade themselves from the immune response of the host .
