Yes they can stay dorman for a while and active again. In some bacteriaphages there is a replicaiton cycle exist called lysogenic cycle where the phage DNA kept dormant in host. but this can change when a stimuli triggers them, it enters to lytic cycle and kill the host.
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent as many lytic viruses are. Most bacteriophages are lysogenic. See link below:
Latency phase
Some volcanoes are active, while others are dormant.

The disease may remain undetected for years after infection is contracted.
A hallmark of the virus group is the ability to infect a host and then become dormant. CMV can remain dormant for years. Even in periods without symptoms, the virus can still be periodically shed from the body in fluids like tears.
Lysogeny is when a virus incorporates its genetic material into its hostâ??s genome. This allows the virus to remain dormant until it enters the lytic stage, during which the virus reproduces.
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can.
Dormant.
Any virus that is not modifying a cells behavior is considered dormant; it may be in a cell but not active, or outside a cell (where it can't be active).
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent as many lytic viruses are. Most bacteriophages are lysogenic. See link below:
Latency phase
When the herpes virus is not active, it is dormant.
Yes, it can. Shingles is caused by the same virus as chicken pox. Once you get chicken pox, the virus can remain dormant in your system until something triggers it to reactivate. In this case, it could have been the strep.
Some volcanoes are active, while others are dormant.

Bed bugs can remain dormant for around 12-18 months without perishing.
