How does Varicella zoster virus cause Chickenpox?

ok, Varicella, or Herpes Zoster is a cell to cell process. It can be spread through contact or air-born pathways. Once it invades the body it travels to the ganglia, or nerves of the body. Once your chickenpox episode is over, guess what? The Varicella is still in the body, only it has become dormant. It travels down the nerves into the spinal column. If it becomes active again, which can happen, it presents as "shingles". That's what they mean when they say if you have had Chickenpox you can get shingles. That's what shingles is; a reactivated, once dormant Chickenpox.
