Viruses that exhibit a latent phase, such as herpesviruses, begin multiplying last. After initial infection, these viruses can remain dormant in host cells for extended periods before reactivating and replicating. This contrasts with lytic viruses, which typically begin multiplying soon after infection. The latency allows them to evade the host's immune response until conditions favor reactivation.
