In this fashion, the virus can persist in the cell (and thus the host) indefinitely. While primary infection is often accompanied by a self-limited period of clinical illness, long-term latency is symptom-free. [citation needed] Chromatin dynamics regulate the transcription competency of entire herpes virus genomes.
