∙ 13y agoI think it is different because hidden virus stays inside the cell until the body gets weak, and then it gets active. So they dont show the symptoms like the active virus does. And the active virus will show symptoms once it gets into the body, so we will eat medicines to kill the virus. So for the viruses, it is good to be a hidden virus.

What type of virus hides in the host cell?
The virus is build to only react when it comes in contact with a certain type of antigen, let's say the surface of a certain cell. The virus will then inject his RNA or DNA into the cell which gives the cell instructions to build more virus particles.
Is rabies a virus?
Yes, it is an acute viral disease of the central nervous system that can be fatal.
An example of a latent viral infection is?
During a latent infection, the viral genome is present within the host's cells but it is not being replicated nor is any cellular destruction taking place. Some viruses for which latent infection in the main type of host-virus interaction are:Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)Herpes Simplex virus (HSV)Varicella Zoster virus (VZV)Cytomegalovirus (CMV)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)

How do hidden viruses differ from active viruses?
an active virus enters a cell and is active it causes the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell. a latent viruses is some viruses may be latent viruses. a latent virus enters a cell and its hereditary material may become part of the cell's hereditary materials.
Difference between an active bacterium and an active virus?
Active virus is technically parasitic in nature and lie dormant until a host is present so they can reproduce. Active bacterium are present in the air and most are even good. Bacteria is already alive and reproducing.
