question 17

Multiple Choice

Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
The herpesviruses are very important enveloped DNA viruses that cause disease in all vertebrate species and in some invertebrates such as oysters. Some of the human ones are herpes simplex virus (HSV) types I and II, causing facial and genital lesions, and the varicella zoster virus (VSV) , causing chicken pox and shingles. Each of these three actively infects nervous tissue. Primary infections are fairly mild, but the virus is not then cleared from the host; rather, viral genomes are maintained in cells in a latent phase. The virus can then reactivate, replicate again, and be infectious to others.
-In order to be able to remain latent in an infected live cell, HSV must be able to shut down what process?

• A) DNA replication
• B) transcription of viral genes
• C) apoptosis of a virally infected cell
• D) all immune responses
