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.


What is chronic latent state?

Chronic latent state refers to a persistent but inactive phase of a disease or condition where symptoms are not present but the causative agent (such as a virus or bacteria) remains in the body. This phase can last for an extended period without causing any symptoms or signs of active infection.

What is the difference between latent infection and inapparent infection?

An inapparent infection occurs when a susceptible person is exposed to an agent, is consequently infected, but neverdevelops clinical symptoms (subclinical). An inapparent infection may result in immunity - but they may not develop immunity and could even become a carrier.In contrast, an exposed susceptible person may develop symptoms (clinical infection), but later enter a period where they no longer exhibit those symptoms. This person would be said to have a "latent infection". They have not recovered - they are still infected -- and they might start to exhibit clinical symptoms later.Exposed ---- Infected ------ no symptoms --------------------------------------> Resolution INAPPARENT INFECTIONExposed ---- Infected ----- symptoms ----no symptoms ---- symptoms ----> Resolution|< Latent Infection>|- Dominick A.

How are acute chronic and latent infections different?

Acute infections have a rapid onset and tend to resolve quickly, while chronic infections last for a longer period of time and may persist for months or years. Latent infections involve a period where the virus or bacteria is in a dormant state within the host, potentially reactivating later to cause symptoms.

Latent virus becoming active?

A latent virus is a unactive virus that sits in your body that eventually becomes active with no explained reason. An example is a cold sore. You dont know its coming until its done. That is a virus in your lip.

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.


Is the measles virus latent?

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.

What is it called when a virus enters a body but not active?

When a virus enters a body but remains inactive, it is referred to as a &quot;latent&quot; infection. In this state, the virus may remain dormant within host cells without causing symptoms or replicating. Latent infections can reactivate later, leading to active disease. Examples include the herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus.

When does subacute sclerosing panencephalitis develop?

SSPE develops when the measles virus, which is still present but is in an inactive (or latent) form, is reactivated. The appearance of symptoms typically leads to a disease that last from one to three years.


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.

What are the causes of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis?

The disease is caused by the reactivated form of a mutated measles virus. The inactive form of the virus can be present in the body for up to 10 years following the initial bout of measles before the symptoms of SSPE develop.
