-
Any process in which a virus stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of the cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor (PRR) MDA-5 (also known as IFIH1) binding to viral RNA. This is a mechanism by which the virus evades the host innate immune response. [GOC:bf, GOC:jl]
