an active virus enters a cell and is active it causes the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell. a latent viruses is some viruses may be latent viruses. a latent virus enters a cell and its hereditary material may become part of the cell's hereditary materials.
hidden viruses take their time and wait until they make the host cell produce more of the virus..
kind of like a ninja, waiting to spring at any moment.
The genes of a hidden virus remain in your cells forever. You can never get rid of them and they can become active at any time.
An active virus makes you sick right away (like a cold), but after your body has cleared it out it is gone for good and it can never make you sick again.
The " hidden " virus is called a provirus and it insets it's genetic material into the genome of the invaded cell so that the cell copies itself many times and copies the virus also. An active virus just invades and hijacks the cell immediately to reproduce the virus. The " hidden " type of virus does come out after a time and acts like a active virus then Google lytic cycle and lysoginy.
The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".
Well think of latent viruses as viruses that are sleepy and don't do much to your body, active viruses are well basically active viruses.
A hidden virus becomes active when like say if you get sick the virus would become active then because it has a greater chance of tearing down your system .

What are types of hidden and active viruses?
Hidden viruses include rootkits, bootkits, and stealth viruses that hide their presence on a system to evade detection. Active viruses include file infectors, macro viruses, and polymorphic viruses that infect files or use different code patterns to avoid detection.
What is the difference between active virus and latent virus?
A hidden virus is known in the words in its name "HIDDEN virus". It hides and stays inactive. The active virus is also known in its name too "ACTIVE virus". The two viruses have different ways on spreading it own kind throughout the host or hosts.
Is smallpox an active or hidden virus?
Smallpox is an active virus, meaning that if a person is infected with the virus, it will cause symptoms and lead to the disease. The virus is not considered hidden, as it is easily detectable through laboratory tests and causes a highly visible rash in infected individuals.
What do latent viruses not do?
They are not active and do not make new viruses.
Why is influenza an active virus?
Because it spreads more quickly than a hidden virusBecause the influenza viruses begin affecting you as soon as you are infected and start reproducing as soon as they are in the target cells of your respiratory system. Active viruses do not invade and then remain dormant to produce new symptoms in the future (sometimes the distant future).
What is active viruses?
when a virus enters a cell and is active, it cause the host cell to make new viruses, which destroy the host cell.
What are the active viruses?
Active viruses are causing a disease at this time. Some can become dormant for a time and can be reactivated. Examples are cold sores and shingles.
