The varicella-zoster virus is one of the eight herpesviruses known to affect humans (and other vertebrates). Primary VZV infection results in chickenpox (varicella), which may rarely result in complications including VZV encephalitis. Even when clinical symptoms of varicella have resolved, VZV remains dormant in the nervous system of the host in the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia. In about 10-20 % of cases, VZV later reactivates later in life to produce herpes zoster (shingles) and its associated sequelae including post-herpetic neuralgia, zoster multiplex, myelitis, herpes ophthalmicus, or zoster sine herpete. Its lipid envelope encloses the nucleocapsid of 162 capsomeres arranged in a hexagonal form.Synonyms: HHV3, Varizella zoster
