Related phenomena observed in the superfluid phase include the ability to sustain persistent currents in a ring-shaped container; the phenomenon of film creep, in which the liquid flows without apparent friction up and over the side of a bucket containing it; and a thermal conductivity that is millions of times its value in the normal phase and greater than that of the best metallic conductors.
It is useful to have the ability to share persistent data between containers (potentially running on separate nodes in a cluster) using NFS mounts.

Although HCV activates the endogenous IFN-α/β pathway it conversely shows an impressive ability to induce persistent infections.
The ability of C. pecorum to synthesise tryptophan in an IFN-γ rich environment may contribute to its ability to form persistent, subclinical infections.
M. tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest pathogens in part because of its ability to establish persistent, latent infections, which can later reactivate to cause disease.
