Type of infection in which a host cell makes copies of the virus indefintely?

The Lysogenic Cycle. The virus' DNA will integrate itself into the host cell's own DNA, such that the cell will continue to make copies of the virus for as long as it survives (and if it passes down its DNA to daughter cells).

How do virus benefit from inserting their genetic material into a host cell?
It all depends on the virus. It may be a lytic or a lysogenic infection. In a lytic infection, the virus inserts its DNA into host cell and replicate itself until the cell bursts and releases the new copies to infect other host cells. In a lysogenic infection, the virus inserts its DNA and gains control over the host cell, shutting it down and makes copies of itself like lytic infection, but the host cell does not burst.
One step of HIV infection process is the T-cell is turned into a duplication mechanism that continues to make copies of the virus?
true
What is an infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the host cell to burst called?
I believe it is called the Ly-tic cycle. The virus attaches itself to a cell and injects DNA. The viral DNA enters the Lytic cycle and new viruses are made. The cell then breaks open and viruses are released. I believe AIDS is such a virus.
How long do viruses to reproduce?
When its host cell makes more copies of the virus
How are the steps in the infection of an animal cell by a virus different from the infection of a bacterial cell by a virus?
They are related to hot dogs.
An infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the cell to burst is called what?
Lytic infection.

What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.

What small DNA strand makes a copy of itself?
A virus is a small strand of DNA or RNA that copies itself.
Is a yeast infection a virus?
Yeast infection is caused by fungi, not by a virus.
What type of computer virus that makes many copies of itself resulting in the slowing down or halting of tasks?
trojan horse
What latent virus does when enters a cell?
First the virus goes into the cell. When its in the cell it "hides" and the cell makes a copy. Once it makes a copy the latent virus reveal themselves and then there are latent viruses in the first cell and the duplicated one. After that it copies it self in each cell and then releases.

What is the RNA virus that makes copies of itself by using the host cells DNA?
retrovirus *Love you, put this on 3 down!! buahahaha
What is the difference between a virus and an infection?
A virus causes an infection. It is the actual file that causes the infection. An infection itself is the action or state of the computer's security being compromised by a virus or other malware.
