Varicella zoster virus: out of Africa and into the research laboratory.

Herpes : the journal of the IHMF - 1 Aug 2006

Grose C

Abstract excerpt

This review updates on numerous topics relating to the evolutionary origins of varicella zoster virus (VZV), the replication cycle, virion assembly and the recent genomic analyses. VZV is one of eight human herpesviruses that have existed for at least 400 million years. It has co-evolved with humankind and is present in all nationalities globally. The pathogenesis of varicella (chickenpox) is dependent on viral...
