This virus is sometimes called a slow virus because it can be latent-like. It doesn't mean that it is in this form when it takes a few days to show symptoms after infection. This in called incubation.

This form in measles stays in latency up to 10 years and will show then as a progressive brain disease and finally death.

No, the measles virus is not latent. Once a person is infected with the measles virus, it typically causes a high fever and rash within a few weeks. The virus does not go into a latent state in the body.
