One of the strategies for dealing with latent virus has been to try to wake up all the dormant copies and then wipe them out with antivirals, an approach dubbed "shock and kill. (quantamagazine.org)
That means some amount of virus will always remain dormant, creating a major impediment to finding a cure. (quantamagazine.org)

Certain opportunistic infections (OIs) are associated with increases in viral load, which may accelerate HIV progression or increase transmission of HIV. (medscape.com)
however, with the availability of ART, there is a decline in the incidence of opportunistic infections in both low- and high-income countries. (medscape.com)

It also raises the question of whether we should be developing a vaccine to prevent some of these infections, especially EBV, which might not help people who have ME/CFS now, but could help prevent people from getting it in the future. (meassociation.org.uk)

Apical periodontal infection has been associated with 200 bacterial species, and 500 bacterial species have been reported with marginal periodontitis. (medscape.com)
[ 3 , 4 ] Evidence also exists that significant interaction of bacterial types within biofilm may either enhance or suppress metabolic activity that leads to dental infection. (medscape.com)

In early January 2020, the specific virus was isolated and later identified as a novel coronavirus by sequencing ( 3 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
Since the virus presented the potential to result in a pandemic, the WHO declared a public health emergency of international concern on this epidemic on the 31st January 2020. (spandidos-publications.com)

When Stanley crystallized TMV he brought together chemistry and virology, made life a continuum from the inorganic and put viruses at the cusp. (virology.ws)

On the other hand, the susceptibility of adult animals, usually somewhat resistant to the development of latent HSV ganglionic infection, was markedly increased by the parenteral administration of hydrocortisone. (psu.edu)
We found that the M81 non-coding Epstein-Barr-encoded RNA EBER2, which carries polymorphisms that are mainly restricted to viruses found in endemic nasopharyngeal carcinomas, markedly stimulated this process. (nature.com)
