Viral mutations occur when viruses change their genetic material. These changes can affect how the virus behaves. Some mutations may make the virus more infectious. Others might help it evade the immune system. Understanding these mutations is crucial for vaccine development. Scientists monitor viral strains to track their evolution. This research helps in managing outbreaks and protecting public health.
