<unk>  (or viral<unk>  is the ability of a pathogenic<unk>  to lie dormant (latent) within a cell, denoted as the lysogenic part of the viral life cycle. A latent viral infection is a type of persistent viral infection which is distinguished from a chronic viral infection.<unk>  is the phase in certain<unk> es' life cycles in which, after initial infection, proliferation of<unk>  particles ceases. However, the viral genome is not eradicated. The<unk>  can reactivate and begin producing large amounts of viral progeny (the lytic part of the viral life cycle) without the host becoming reinfected by new outside<unk> , and stays within the host indefinitely.<unk>  is not to be confused with clinical<unk>  during the incubation period when a<unk>  is not dormant.
