QUESTION

Latency is a typical feature of?

OPTIONS

(A) Herpesviridae
(B) Adenoviridae
(C) Circoviridas
(D) Paramyxoviridae

ANSWER

(A) Herpesviridae

EXPLANATION

Latency, in which viral genomes persist in host cells with little or no productive virus production and can later reactivate, is a hallmark of herpesviruses. Therefore option A is correct; adenoviruses, circoviruses, and paramyxoviruses do not classically establish the characteristic lifelong latent infections of Herpesviridae.
