The virus just infects the host cell but remains quiet for a long time. Something may cause it to become active again. A very good example of this is the chickenpox virus. It can remain for a long time in the hosts' nervous system and something will reactivate it. It is then called shingles.

Does ionizing radiation destroy malignant and benign cancers?

What are designer viruses used for?

Are viruses mechanical or biological?
Viruses are biological entities because they contain genetic material (DNA or RNA) and require a host cell to replicate. However, they lack the cellular machinery needed for metabolic processes and must infect host cells to reproduce.
What are some limitations of antibiotics?
One thing is that antibiotics cannot kill viruses, as viruses are DNA structures which enter the cells in your body in order to duplicate, however antibiotics cannot enter into the cells, and can therefore not stop the virus.
Are viruses living cells?

What is virotherapy and how does it work?
Virotherapy is a type of treatment that uses viruses to target and kill cancer cells. The viruses are modified to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Once inside the cancer cells, the viruses replicate and cause the cells to burst, ultimately leading to the death of the cancer cells.
