Abstract
⺠Persistence state is a metastable equilibrium between host and pathogen. ⺠Viral persistence is a widespread phenomenon through all kingdoms. ⺠Persistent infections can benefit the virus and/or the host at the population level. ⺠The root of viral persistence could be at the 'endogenization' of viral sequences.
