Evidence and reasoning on viral mimicry modulating immunity and detection

This reasoning chain synthesizes how protein mimicry by large dsDNA viruses, including poxviruses and herpesviruses, is evidenced to alter host immunity, with multiple references documenting immunomodulator proteins and mimics of cytokines/chemokines, and considers phylogenomic evidence for gene families linked to suppression of host detection.
