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.
What are types of bacteria that live in Antarctica?
Generally, bacteria requires a host in order to multiply and remain viable. However, there are endospores that can remain viable for millions of years withstanding the freezing environment. Dormant bacteria are extremely difficult to identify. However, in recent years, as scientists have drilled access to sub-glacial lakes -- Lake Vostok and Lake Whillins -- bacteria have been found. As of February 2013, scientists were analyzing the DNA of these organisms to determine their identity. It is possible that these organisms have never been seen before on earth. What's interesting to learn is that these sub-glacial lakes are liquid, possibly because of their proximity to the molten core of the earth.
A volcano that has not erupted in many years is said to be what?
dormant dormant
How many years can seeds be dormant?
The length of time varies depending on the species. On average, it is between 3-5 years. However, it can be as short as 1 year for pansies, parsnips, chives, rosemary, and rhubarb or as long as 10 years for some pumpkins, squash, silverbeet and beetroot. All of these times assume good storage conditions away from heat, light, and dampness.
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.
Did bacteria come in the ice age?
Yes, bacteria have been on Earth for billions of years and have survived through various periods, including the ice age. Some bacteria are adapted to extreme cold environments and can remain dormant in ice for long periods of time before becoming active again when conditions improve.
Is there a a cure for typhus?
Typhus usually responds to antibiotic treatment. However, in some cases the Rickettsia bacteria remain dormant in cells and can cause another outbreak (possibly months or years later) in individuals who appear cured.
What can protect bacteria from harsh conditions for even millions of years?
Spores are protective structures formed by certain bacteria that can withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, lack of water, and exposure to chemicals. Spores have a tough outer covering that shields the bacteria's genetic material and allows them to remain dormant until conditions improve. This resilience enables spore-forming bacteria to survive for long periods, even millions of years, in hostile environments.

Can chlamydia remain dormant for years and cause false negative test when they swab your cervix?
Although you can have chlamydia without having symptoms, it doesn't stay dormant. It's detectable through testing even if you don't have symptoms.

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.
Make a sentence with the word dormant?
To hibernate is to enter an inactive or dormant state.
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.
Can you get Tuberculosis?
yes. secondary tuberculosis which is more common in adult is actually the reactivation of the bacterial (M. Tuberculosis) which remain dormant in the lung after the first infection that can go back years ago.
