What term describes the state of a virus when it resides within a host organism in an inactive, non-replicating form?
Answer:
latency
Viral latency is a phase in certain viruses' life cycles in which, after the initial infection, proliferation of virus particles ceases. However, the viral genome is not fully eradicated. The result of this is that the virus can reactivate and begin producing large amounts of viral progeny without the host being reinfected by new external virus particles.
