Can some viruses remain dormant in the body for many year?
Yes, some viruses can remain dormant in the body for many years. For example, the herpes simplex virus can establish latency in nerve cells, becoming inactive and causing no symptoms until it reactivates later. Similarly, the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, can lie dormant in the nervous system and later cause shingles. This ability to remain dormant can complicate treatment and contribute to recurrent infections.
When do viruses remain dormant in a cell?
Viruses can remain dormant in a cell until conditions become favorable for replication. Factors such as a weakened immune system or stress can trigger the virus to become active again.
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.
How long can tropical spastic paraparesis remain dormant?
Tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP), caused by the HTLV-1 virus, can remain dormant for many years, even decades, before symptoms appear. However, not everyone infected with HTLV-1 will develop TSP. Factors such as genetic predisposition and immune response can influence whether the virus becomes active and causes symptoms.
Does the Norwalk virus have a Lytic or Lysogenic cycle?
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent as many lytic viruses are. Most bacteriophages are lysogenic. See link below:
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.
When do viruses remain dormant in a cell?
Viruses can remain dormant in a cell until conditions become favorable for replication. Factors such as a weakened immune system or stress can trigger the virus to become active again.
What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on an oranism?
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can.
What is an example of an latent virus?
an example of a latent virus is a host cell
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.
What is the inactive version of a virus?
Dormant.
How long can tropical spastic paraparesis remain dormant?
Tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP), caused by the HTLV-1 virus, can remain dormant for many years, even decades, before symptoms appear. However, not everyone infected with HTLV-1 will develop TSP. Factors such as genetic predisposition and immune response can influence whether the virus becomes active and causes symptoms.
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).
How long can fungus gnat eggs remain dormant before hatching?
Fungus gnat eggs can remain dormant for about 4 to 6 days before hatching.
When the herpes virus goes to sleep the medical term for this action is?
When the herpes virus is not active, it is dormant.
Explain why a virus might exist for years and only become active once it comes into contact with a living cell?
A virus can remain dormant for years because it is not a living organism and does not have the ability to replicate on its own. Once it comes into contact with a living cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to replicate itself and cause an infection. The activation of the virus is triggered by specific signals or conditions present in the host cell.
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.
