When viral DNA is more “liquidy,” it is more easily injected into host cells—so easily, in fact, that multiple virus-carrying capsids may squeeze their DNA payloads into a host cell simultaneously.

Hiding their DNA genome inside the nucleus of the infected cells, the herpes viruses establish a lifelong infection in humans, and they are known to reactivate in response to different kinds of stress ...
