Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.03170

Abstract: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a neurotropic alphaherpesvirus and the causative agent of varicella (chickenpox) in humans. Following primary infection, VZV establishes latency in the sensory ganglia and can reactivate to cause herpes zoster, more… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Viruses"

DOI: 10.3390/v14050844

Abstract: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and simian varicella virus (SVV) cause varicella (chickenpox) in children and nonhuman primates, respectively. After resolution of acute disease, the viruses establish latent infection in neural ganglia, after which they may… read more here.
