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)

Is crabs bacterial or viral?
Crabs are caused by a parasitic infection, not a bacterial or viral infection. They are commonly known as pubic lice and infest human pubic hair.
What is inflammation of the lacrimal gland by bacterial viral or fungal infection called?
Inflammation of the lacrimal gland by bacterial, viral, or fungal infection is called Dacryoadenitis.
What is a viral infection that leads to the integration of the viral genome into the host cell genome?
Lysogenic cycle
Is bronchitis viral or bacterial?
Bronchitis can be caused by either a viral or bacterial infection, with viral infections being more common. Viral bronchitis typically resolves on its own with rest and symptom management. Bacterial bronchitis may require antibiotics for treatment.
Is the lythic cycle of viral infection replication and cell destruction true?
The lytic cycle is a process by which a virus infects a host cell, replicates within it, and ultimately causes the cell to burst, releasing new viral particles. This cycle is true for certain types of viruses, such as bacteriophages that infect bacteria. In contrast, some viruses may establish a latent infection in the host cell without causing immediate cell destruction.
What is an example of an latent virus?
an example of a latent virus is a host cell
How do active and latent viral infections differ?
Active viral infections occur when a virus replicates and causes symptoms in the host, leading to the production of new viral particles. In contrast, latent viral infections involve the virus remaining dormant within the host's cells without causing immediate symptoms; it can reactivate later, potentially leading to active infection again. This distinction is crucial for understanding viral behavior in the body and for treatment approaches. Examples include herpes simplex virus for latent infections and influenza virus for active infections.
How does interferon protect cells from viral infection?

Does a persistent viral infection have an acute initial infection phase?
Yes, a persistent viral infection typically begins with an acute initial infection phase. During this phase, the virus replicates rapidly, leading to a strong immune response and symptoms. After this acute phase, the virus can enter a chronic or latent state, allowing it to persist in the host for extended periods, often with minimal or no symptoms.
Is the common cold an active or inactive virus?
Cold sores are caused by a virus HSV-type 1.Yes oral herpes is a viral infection.
What biological hazard is hepatitis A an example of?
Hep A is a viral infection which is spread from the faeces of an infected person.
What does a provirus cause?
a latent infection

yes b-c viral infection
Is mumps a viral infection of the salivary gland?
No. It's caused by a viral infection in the salivary glands.
Is the avian flu viral or bacterial?
Spanish flu is viral.
Is asthma viral?
No. It is a genetically inherited disease, not a viral infection.
What kind of infection is infectious mononucleosis?
