Poliovirurus as a persistent infection.

[Ray Baumann]

One of the classic families of viruses known for persistent infection
is the Arenaviridae (Arenaviruses). LCMV has long been intensively
studied because of this property and the  unique immunopathology that
must accompany persistence in a host with a competent immune system.
