  2. Virus latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus_latency

    Virus latency (or viral latency) is the ability of a pathogenic virus to lie dormant within a cell, denoted as the lysogenic part of the viral life cycle. [1] A latent viral infection is a type of persistent viral infection which is distinguished from a chronic viral infection. Latency is the phase in certain viruses' life cycles in which ...

  3. Incubation period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_period

    Incubation period (also known as the latent period or latency period) is the time elapsed between exposure to a pathogenic organism, a chemical, or radiation, and when symptoms and signs are first apparent. [1]

  4. Epigenetics of human herpesvirus latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics_of_human...

    It undergoes lytic infection in lymphocytes and latency in B cells. It causes Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma. KSHV is one of eight known human cancer-causing viruses. The control of KSHV latency is most notably controlled by a set of viral miRNAs. During latency there are only a few transcripts that are produced.

  5. Latent period (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_period_(epidemiology)

    In epidemiology, particularly in the discussion of infectious disease dynamics (modeling), the latent period (also known as the latency period or the pre-infectious period) is the time interval between when an individual or host is infected by a pathogen and when that individual becomes infectious, i.e. capable of transmitting pathogens to ...

  6. HIV latency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV_latency

    Additionally, primate studies of HIV latency have shown that latent cells emerge before the adaptive immune response is established, indicating that latency cannot entirely be dependent on T-cell relaxation after peak adaptive immune response. [20] Latency is also established in cell-culture models with up to a 50% probability of establishment.

  7. Viral life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_life_cycle

    Some viruses can "hide" within a cell, which may mean that they evade the host cell defenses or immune system and may increase the long-term "success" of the virus. This hiding is deemed latency. During this time, the virus does not produce any progeny, it remains inactive until external stimuli—such as light or stress—prompts it to activate.

  9. Herpes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes

    HSV latency is static; no virus is produced; and is controlled by a number of viral genes, including latency-associated transcript. [74] Many HSV-infected people experience recurrence within the first year of infection. [16] Prodrome precedes development of lesions.
