Descriptor English: Virus Latency
Descriptor Spanish: Latencia del Virus
Descriptor latencia viral
Scope note: Capacidad de un virus patógeno de permanecer inactivo en el interior de una célula (INFECCIÓN LATENTE). En los eucariotas, la ulterior activación y replicación del virus parece estar causada por estimulación extracelular de factores de transcripción celular. En los bacteriófagos, la latencia se mantiene por la expresión de represores codificados por el virus.

Scope note: The ability of a pathogenic virus to lie dormant within a cell (LATENT INFECTION). In eukaryotes, subsequent activation and viral replication is thought to be caused by extracellular stimulation of cellular transcription factors. Latency in bacteriophage is maintained by the expression of virally encoded repressors.
