A dormant virus may be difficult to diagnose because it does not actively replicate or cause symptoms, making it challenging to detect using standard diagnostic tests. Additionally, dormant viruses may not shed enough viral particles for traditional diagnostic methods to detect their presence. Specialized tests or specific triggers may be required to detect dormant viruses accurately.

What is an example of an latent virus?
an example of a latent virus is a host cell
Which of these is a viral disease that can later mutate to cause shingles?
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is the virus responsible for causing chickenpox initially. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in the body and can later reactivate to cause shingles.
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 lysogeny?
Lysogeny is a process in which a bacteriophage (virus that infects bacteria) inserts its genetic material into the host bacterium's genome, becoming a prophage. The viral DNA is then replicated along with the bacterial DNA as the host cell divides, remaining dormant until triggered to initiate the lytic cycle and produce new phage particles. This allows the virus to persist in the bacterial population without causing immediate harm.
Is shingles a virus caused by skin disease?
Shingles are caused by the varicella virus, the same virus that causes chicken pox. Those who have had chicken pox when younger carry the dormant virus for the rest of their lives. Should the virus "reactivate" in an adult, the result is shingles.
Why is Large Mouth Bass Virus difficult to diagnose?
Mainly because the symptoms are difficult to diagnose. There are other organisms that mimic the virus, causing sores on the fish's flanks. This disease is rarely fatal, and the fish usually recovers.
What is the inactive version of a virus?
Dormant.
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).
When the herpes virus goes to sleep the medical term for this action is?
When the herpes virus is not active, it is dormant.
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.
You can be infected with a virus and not even know it?
Yes. Some sit dormant for months.
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.
Is a virus difficult to cure?
it depends on the virus
Dormant in a sentence?
Some volcanoes are active, while others are dormant.
What is the dormant state of a virus called?
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called a provirus.
Which cancer is the most difficult to diagnose and treat?
Cancer is difficult to diagnose because of all the different types. Not only are there different places you can have cancer, there are different types of tumors you can have. Cancer is difficult to treat because of all the different types. Cancer is actually a general title for almost a hundred different diseases of the genes of DNA.
Different phases of life cycle of a computer virus?
->Dormant phase->Propagation phase->Triggering phase->Execution phase—Dormant Phase àThis virus is idle one and activated by some event such as a file.—Propagation Phas:Virus places an identical copy of itself—Triggering Phase :Virus is activated to perform the functions—Execution Phase :Virus is performed!
