Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the antiviral response of a cell or organism. Specific posttranscriptional gene inactivation ('silencing') both of viral gene(s), and host gene(s) homologous to the viral genes. This silencing is triggered by viral infection, and occurs through a specific decrease in the level of mRNA of both host and viral genes. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of antiviral mechanisms, thereby facilitating viral replication. Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat. Any process of the immune system that occurs as part of an immune response. Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a disturbance in organismal or cellular homeostasis, usually, but not necessarily, exogenous (e.g. temperature, humidity, ionizing radiation). Reactions, triggered in response to the presence of a foreign body or the occurrence of an injury, which result in restriction of damage to the organism attacked or prevention/recovery from the infection caused by the attack. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a virus. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from another living organism. Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.
