Yes, I can help you with that! The influenza virus is considered an active virus. Allow me to explain why.
Active viruses, also known as lytic viruses, enter the body and immediately start replicating inside the host cells. Once the virus enters the body, it immediately begins infecting host cells and using them to produce more viruses. This process leads to the rapid onset of symptoms associated with the infection, such as fever, body aches, cough, and fatigue that are typically observed within a few days of exposure to the virus.
In the case of the influenza virus, once it enters your body through the respiratory system (typically via droplets from an infected person's cough or sneeze), it quickly attaches to the host cells in your respiratory tract. The virus then enters the cells, utilizes their machinery, and replicates rapidly to produce more virus particles. As a result, you experience the symptoms of the flu shortly after infection.
It's important to note that active viruses are usually more easily detectable because they cause noticeable symptoms in the host. In contrast, hidden viruses, also known as latent viruses, can remain dormant in the body for extended periods without causing symptoms.
So to summarize, the influenza virus is an active virus because it immediately starts replicating within the host cells after infection, leading to the rapid onset of symptoms.
