Viral carrier status is instilled by viral regulatory particles

Viral regulatory particles limit the extent of viral infections and shift the active infection to a latent infection. Just as multicellular creatures use hormones as chemical messengers to coordinate cellular functions, viruses utilize regulatory particles to coordinate viral modes among infected cells within a host. Many viruses depend on these particles for their continued existence. If we wish to comprehend and effectively treat viral infections, we must secure a thorough understanding of viral regulatory particles.
