evasion
the act of avoiding somebody or of avoiding something that you are supposed to do
Example: In addition to the Spike (S) protein, the 3′ end of the SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes the envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N) proteins as well as a variety of accessory factors thought to be involved in innate immune evasion. C. Jung et al., “Omicron: What Makes the Latest SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern So Concerning?,” Journal of Virology, vol. 96, no. 6, Mar. 2022, DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02077-21.
en: увиливание, избегание
prevalence
the fact of existing or being very common at a particular time or in a particular place
Example: The Omicron Spike also contains a deletion of residues 143 to 145 and a 3-amino-acid insertion of “EPE” at position 214, which may provide further means to determine the prevalence of the Omicron 21K VOC in PCR-based assays. C. Jung et al., “Omicron: What Makes the Latest SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern So Concerning?,” Journal of Virology, vol. 96, no. 6, Mar. 2022, DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02077-21.

surveillance
​the act of carefully watching a person suspected of a crime or a place where a crime may be committed
Example: However, its emergence may have gone unnoticed in one or several countries with less surveillance of COVID-19 and sequencing of emerging variants compared to South Africa. C. Jung et al., “Omicron: What Makes the Latest SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern So Concerning?,” Journal of Virology, vol. 96, no. 6, Mar. 2022, DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02077-21.
en: габлюдение, слежка
to elicit
to get information or a reaction from somebody, often with difficulty
Example: However, several studies indicate that vaccinated individuals boosted with mRNA-based vaccines elicit reduced but still potent-enough neutralizing humoral immune responses against the Omicron VOC. C. Jung et al., “Omicron: What Makes the Latest SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern So Concerning?,” Journal of Virology, vol. 96, no. 6, Mar. 2022, DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02077-21.
en: вызывать
to exert
to use power or influence to affect somebody/something
Example: Specifically, the nonstructural protein 14 (Nsp14) and its cofactor Nsp10 exert exonuclease activity that substantially reduces the accumulation of mutations in the viral genome. C. Jung et al., “Omicron: What Makes the Latest SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern So Concerning?,” Journal of Virology, vol. 96, no. 6, Mar. 2022, DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02077-21.
