Various cells are involved. The varicella-zoster virus enters through the respiratory system. Then it is found in the lymph nodes 4-6 days later the virus enters the cells of the spleen and liver. After a week the virus travels to the viscera and skin, causing the typical skin markings.

What helps the flu or mumps virus enter and leave the host cell?

Viruses like the flu and mumps enter host cells by binding to specific cell surface receptors. They then gain entry into the cell by either fusing with the cell membrane or being taken up by the cell through endocytosis. To exit the host cell, viruses often hijack the cell's machinery to assemble new viral particles which are then released from the cell either by cell lysis or budding.


Is the mumps an active or hidden virus?

Active. It will go directly to find a host cell and begin the steps of the lytic cycle to cause the host's cell to replicate itself (see the related questions for more about the lytic cycle). It does not stay "dormant" inside you to manifest symptoms later, an infection will produce symptoms right away if you are infected. Then once new viruses are made in the host cell, they will burst out and infect more cells and potentially more people.


How long can mumps virus survive outside a host?

What happens to the provirus when the host cell reproduces?

When the host cell reproduces, the provirus is replicated along with the host cell's DNA. As the host cell divides, each daughter cell also inherits a copy of the provirus, which integrates into the genome of the new cells.
