What is the inactive version of a virus?
Dormant.
What is a dormant virus?
Any virus that is not modifying a cells behavior is considered dormant; it may be in a cell but not active, or outside a cell (where it can't be active).
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 "latent" 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.
Dormant state?
Data call is in a dormant state
What does it mean when a virus can sleep?
When a virus is said to "sleep," it typically refers to its ability to enter a dormant state, often called latency. In this state, the virus is not actively replicating or causing disease, but it can remain in the host's cells without being detected by the immune system. This dormancy allows the virus to evade the host's defenses and can reactivate later, potentially causing infection again. This behavior is commonly seen in certain viruses, such as herpesviruses.
What type of virus enters the cell and doesn't immediately attack?
A dormant virus is a type of virus that enters the cell and remains inactive for a period of time before starting to replicate and cause symptoms. During this dormant phase, the virus may integrate its genetic material into the host cell's genome or remain in a latent state until conditions are favorable for replication.
When the herpes virus goes to sleep the medical term for this action is?
When the herpes virus is not active, it is dormant.
What is it called when a virus hides for a while as part of bacterial chromosome?
This process is known as lysogeny, where a virus integrates its genetic material into the chromosome of its host bacterium and remains dormant until conditions are favorable for reactivation.
What is a hallmark of the virus group to which CMV belongs?
A hallmark of the virus group is the ability to infect a host and then become dormant. CMV can remain dormant for years. Even in periods without symptoms, the virus can still be periodically shed from the body in fluids like tears.
You can be infected with a virus and not even know it?
Yes. Some sit dormant for months.
How many years can the HPV virus be dormant?
HPV can stay dormant for decades. Diagnosis does not give you an idea of when you were infectedd.
What is called the resting stage?
dormant condition
