Influenza A virus(IAV) infection is a major cause of respiratory disease in human and many kinds of animals, however, either seasonal“flu” outbreaks or periodic world-wide pandemics caused by IAV is mainly attributed to strategies exploited by IAV for evading antiviral immune responses of the host. There is growing evidence that IAV has evolved highly sophisticated strategies to overcome the antiviral signaling, such as antigen variation and encoding accessory proteins(NS1 and PB1-F2). A better understanding of the strategies exploited by viruses for evading the immunity is helpful for us to reveal the pathogenesis of IAV infection and discover targets for the development of antiviral reagents directed against IAV. Therefore，the latest progress on strategies exploited by IAV for evading antiviral immunity are reviewed.
