The varicella-zoster virus (VZV), also known as Human herpesvirus 3 (HHV-3), is one of the eight herpesviruses known to affect humans (and other vertebrates).
The virus is very susceptible to disinfectants, notably sodium hypochlorite.
It was developed by Merck, Sharp and Dohme in the 1970s from a virus isolated by Mishiaki Takahashi and identified as Oka.

 Papovaviruses
Virus particles enter by the nuclear pores and uncoating occurs inside the nucleus.
Virus proteins contain 'nuclear localization signals' which results in their accumulation in the nucleus, where they migrate after being synthesized in the cytoplasm.
Virus is shed from epidermal cells when these are sloughed off and is transmitted by direct contact (esp. genital warts) and indirect contact.

Proteinases induced by the virus are distinguished from those of native cells by a series of physico-chemical characteristics and possess higher catalytic activity.
Studies of age changes and culture conditions suggest that the resistance of the obtained cyanobacteria clones to virus infection is associated with a spontaneous mutation-induced modification in cell receptors.

This smaller gene size is the result of three characteristics of virus genes: (1) virus genes usually have little intragenic space between them or, in some cases, genes overlap; (2) some virus-encoded enzymes are smaller than their counterparts from free-living organisms; and (3) introns occur rarely, if at all, in some viruses.
Thus, depending on the virus and bacterium being compared, the average functional virus gene is 10 to 50% smaller than the average bacterial gene.

 Virus classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viruses can be classified in several ways, such as by their geometry, by whether they have envelopes, by the identity of the host organism they can infect, by mode of transmission, or by the type of disease they cause.
It should be noted that none of these classifications are expected to be phylogenetic, as viruses may not share a common origin.
Approximately 80 families and 4000 species of virus are known.

 Virus Taxonomy
Early virus classification was based on the diseases caused by viruses.
Virus taxonomy has steered away from the Latinised binomial system adopted in the 18th century and applied to the taxonomy of biological systems by Karl von Linné (Carolus Linneaus).
Because taxon and taxonomic unit names are sometimes the same, confusion results when virus names are written in short-hand or used incorrectly in conversation.

 Viral Replication and Genetics
Regardless of whether the virus has a DNA or RNA genome, ss, ds, segmented or monopartite, it has to produce mRNAs that are recognized and translated by the host cell machinery.
Replication occurs in the nucleus and involves the generation of a - sense DNA strand to serve as a template for the + sense DNA genome for the progeny virions.

Virus is spread by respiratory droplets, and the resulting infection is mild in children (a rash), but disastrous for pregnant women in first trimester; in pregnant women it causes congenital rubella syndrome, which leads to fetal death, premature delivery, and congenital defects
Virus produces latent and chronic infections and can be reactivated in immunocompromised individuals, leading to pneumonitis; virus has been implicated in a variety of other diseases, including chronic fatigue syndrome and lymphadenitis; diagnosis is by immunofluorescence or enzyme immunoassay; there is neither treatment nor prevention currently available
Virus is spread by intimate contact with virus-contaminated blood, in utero from mother to fetus, by the fecal-oral route, or through organ transplants

A DNA virus is a virus that has DNA as its genetic material and does not use an RNA intermediate during replication.
