The Chickenpox disease is deadly and can be highly contagious to those who either have not been exposed to it or for those who haven't been vaccinated. A vaccine against chickenpox and this virus is highly recommended and has successfully been developed.

Additionally, for those who are in contact and with the disease, many symptoms can be seen. Examples of them are:
1) fever 
2) loss of appetite
3) headache
4) tiredness.

This symptoms can be seen as early as 1 or 2 days after exposure but the main symptoms of this disease are itchy blister rashes that can spread thought your entire body.]]> 2023-02-15 17:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dg26edegering/hh45j6mq1e1bm81u/wish/2483842844 dg26edegering https://padlet.com/dg26edegering/hh45j6mq1e1bm81u/wish/2483858234 The Varicella-Zoster Virus is an icosahedral virus.]]> 2023-02-15 17:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dg26edegering/hh45j6mq1e1bm81u/wish/2483858234 dg26edegering https://padlet.com/dg26edegering/hh45j6mq1e1bm81u/wish/2487735148 The Varicella Zoster Virus is a linear duplex DNA molecule.

2) The Virus enters through epithelial cells. 

3) After the primary infection happens, the virus spreads itself to the tonsils and other lymphoid tissues. Once this happens and the T cells are infected, they are able to transport to the skin via bloodstreams.

The Virus is able to switch between the 2 distinc cycles.

Both the Lysogenic and Lytic cycle involve using a host cell to create more viruses. In the Lytic Cycle, the virus replicates itself and then burst itself out of the cell. In the Lysogenic Cycle, the cell is not destroyed and the DNA is incorporated into the cell's genome.

A vaccine called Varivax is very well established in medicine and extremely effective againts this virus.

This vaccine is given to children at very early ages. Children receive this vaccine in ages between 12 - 15 months and then later between 4 - 6 years.

If a person has not been vaccinated yet, they are given 2 doses of the vaccine spread between at least months to give them immunity.
