Varicella-zoster virus: molecular controls of cell fusion-dependent pathogenesis.

Biochemical Society transactions - 18 Dec 2020

Oliver Stefan L, Zhou Momei, Arvin Ann M

Abstract excerpt

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is the causative agent of chicken pox (varicella) and shingles (zoster). Although considered benign diseases, both varicella and zoster can cause complications. Zoster is painful and can lead to post herpetic neuralgia. VZV has also been linked to stroke, related to giant cell arteritis in some cases. Vaccines are available but the attenuated vaccine is not recommended in...
