Which of the following best matches the description of viral infections: - A viral infection in which a symptomless period with no detectable virus is followed by reactivation of the virus with accompanying symptoms. - An extended viral infection during which the virus can be detected at all times, and the disease may be absent or develop late. - A viral infection during which the virus gradually increases over a long time, during which no symptoms are apparent. - A viral infection of short duration during which the host may either succumb or develop immunity against the virus.
