The phrase "mechanisms of persistence" is correct and usable in written English.
It refers to the processes or methods that allow something to continue or endure over time. It can be used in a variety of contexts, such as describing the reasons for a person's success, the resilience of a natural system, or the tactics utilized by an organization to maintain its influence. Example: "The entrepreneur's ability to adapt and innovate were key mechanisms of persistence that allowed their business to thrive in a constantly changing market."
We discuss possible reasons for the pattern of findings, though our study design does not allow us to identify the causal mechanisms of persistence.
Animal models of HCMV have been used as systems of discovery and translation to understand viral mechanisms of persistence and pathogenesis, and to test concepts and modalities for the generation of immune responses that protect from primary infection and sequelae.
Fig. 6 sketches the major mechanisms of persistence suggested by our model.
Our understanding of the mechanisms of persistence and spread of the virus in the population is fundamental to the development of appropriate control methods.
This review will discuss the molecular mechanisms of persistence of HBV cccDNA and its clinical significance as well as the potential strategies to cure chronic HBV infection.
I review the ecology of canine rabies in southern Africa, particularly with the goal of resolving the controversies on mechanisms of persistence.
The objective of this study was to examine the mechanism of persistence of Y. pestis in tap water, an environment not normally studied with regards to this bacterium, yet one implicated in driving bacteria to into the VBNC state [16].
Thus, the exact location, duration, and mechanism of persistence remain unsettled.
A similar mechanism of persistence and reactivation can be suspected in case of HAdV-A31, which would explain its high incidence in immunosuppressed patients.
Probably the most accepted mechanism of persistence is the existence of viral reservoirs in latent and stably infected CD4+ T cells [ 8– 10].
Fourth, in many patients on HAART, most of the residual viremia is comprised of a small number of viral clones that are released into the plasma for long periods of time without evolution, suggesting a mechanism of persistence other than viral replication [ 55].
