Varicella-zoster virus. The virus.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox and herpes zoster. After acute infection the virus becomes latent in dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia for the lifetime of the individual. The viral genome encodes about 70 proteins, at least three of which are thought to be expressed during latency in humans. VZV grows in cell culture, but is very cell-associated; it is relatively difficult to obtain high titers of cell-free virus.
