A model of virus shedding into the saliva. Reactivation of latently infected B cells gives rise to plasma B cells that initiate virus production (VB). B-cell virus can infect cells in the tonsil epithelium to amplify the population of virus shedding into the saliva. Infected epithelial cells (red dashed) can be killed by effector T cells.
