It belongs to the herpesvirus family. However, it has the smallest genome of all the herpes viruses. Basically, the virus will give the host a unique and itchy rash over most of the body. Red bumps and blisters will grow on the skin, and a popped sore is one of the ways it is transmitted.  Within its core is linear double strand DNA. It infects its host by using the glycoproteins on its outer envelope to grant itself access into the target cell. Once inside, it will inject its DNA.

The chicken pox virus is known as human herpesvirus 3, and will only target human cells. Therefore, the only organism at risk of obtaining the varicella zoster virus is humans.

Now cases are rather rare, and deaths result from a weak immune system, such as in pregnant women, or babies.

It was named by Richard Morton in the 1600s, who believed it to be a mild version of smallpox. William Heberden first proved it to be different from smallpox in the 1700s.
