What is a latent virus?
Latent Viruses: some viruses can be latent. That means that after the virus enters a cell, its hereditary material can become part of the cell's hereditary material.
Compare and contrast a latent virus and an active virus.?
A latent virus remains dormant in the host cell without causing symptoms, but can reactivate later to cause disease. An active virus continuously replicates and causes symptoms, leading to an active infection. Both types of viruses can cause disease, but latent viruses have periods of inactivity while active viruses are constantly causing symptoms.
Viruses that causes infection resulting in alternating periods of activity with symptoms and inactivity without symptoms are called?
These viruses are called latent viruses. They can remain dormant within the host for extended periods, only becoming active to produce symptoms periodically. Examples include herpesviruses and certain types of adenoviruses.
What is the difference between active virus and latent virus?
A hidden virus is known in the words in its name "HIDDEN virus". It hides and stays inactive. The active virus is also known in its name too "ACTIVE virus". The two viruses have different ways on spreading it own kind throughout the host or hosts.
HOW IS A HIDDEN VIRUSES DIFFER FROM ACTIVE VIRUS?
Hidden viruses, often referred to as latent or dormant viruses, integrate their genetic material into the host's genome and remain inactive until triggered, often by factors such as stress or immune suppression. In contrast, active viruses replicate and produce new viral particles, leading to infection and symptoms in the host. This distinction impacts how infections are treated and managed, as latent viruses can reactivate later, while active viruses require immediate intervention.
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.
Can influenza be a latent virus?
No. Influenza viruses are active. You are infected, so your body creates antibodies that disable the viruses in 7 to 10 days. Then your body eventually removes all of the "dead" ones from your body. Latent viruses, like HIV, hepatitis C, and Herpes viruses, infect you but don't cause evidence of disease until later, sometimes years later, as they lie dormant (latent) hidden in your tissues until the disease they cause eventually manifests.
What kind of viruses lives permanently in the cell and flare up periodically?
Herpes viruses, such as herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus, are examples of viruses that can establish latent infections in host cells and reactivate periodically, leading to flare-ups of symptoms.
Is pink eye a latent virus?
"Pink Eye" is a common term for conjunctivitis. This condition has many causes, including some viruses. Viral conjunctivitis has a incubation period of between 12 hours and 3 days, and does not appear to remain latent after symptoms are resolved.
Can somebody virus become active once a year?
Some viruses go latent and then become active later. Various viruses in the herpes family are well known for this: oral herpes - cold sores, chicken pox - shingles, etc.
Why is it hard to get rid of viruses in your body?
Viruses can be challenging to eliminate because they can mutate rapidly, making it difficult for the immune system to target them effectively. Additionally, viruses can evade detection by hiding inside cells or evolving mechanisms to avoid destruction. Lastly, some viruses have the ability to establish latent infections, where they remain in the body in a dormant state and can reactivate later.
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.
