American hop latent virus
Encyclopedia
American hop latent virus (AHLV) is a plant pathogenic virus
of the family Flexiviridae
.
A latent virus first injects its hereditary material (DNA) into the cell using the host cell. Then the hereditary material of the virus mixes with the DNA of the cell. After all that happens, the cell goes on with its work making copies of itself. But, inside its DNA the copies include the DNA of the virus. The cell makes one or more copies of itself, then as it does the virus is slowly forming inside. You are the one that activates the virus. (e.g. There might be a virus making copies of itself in your skin cell where your lip is. When you are stressed it will activate the virus and the virus will break open That will give you cold sore). When the time is right, the new viruses will break open the host cell and go on repeating the same activity.
Plant virus
Plant viruses are viruses that affect plants. Like all other viruses, plant viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that do not have the molecular machinery to replicate without a host. Plant viruses are pathogenic to higher plants...

Flexiviridae
The Flexiviridae were a new family of viruses in the 2004 classification of viruses, but have since the 2009 classification been split into the three new families Alphaflexiviridae, Betaflexiviridae and Gammaflexiviridae...
