  • Have you ever come across a stick insect? They look exactly like tree branches, blending in perfectly with their surroundings as a strategy for survival. By hiding in plain sight, they avoid detection by predators.


    Just like stick insects survive by blending in with their surroundings, viruses and bacteria can do the same to avoid our immune systems and survive in our bodies. But when microbes mimic us, they may inadvertently mess with our immune systems. Researchers suspect that it could even trigger the development of autoimmune diseases.


    Listen to this episode to understand how microbes can mimic humans to hide from our immune systems - and the unexpected consequences this can have.
