How is a latent virus different from an active virus?
An active virus immediately forces the host cells to produce more viruses and destroys the cell by bursting it. A latent virus does not kill the host cell immediately. Instead, the viral DNA remains inactive for a period of time. Each time the host cell divides through mitosis, the viral DNA is replicated and passed on to new cells. Eventually, something signals the latent virus to become active, and the virus then destroys its host cells.
