Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is a type of virus, not a protist or bacteria. It is highly contagious and primarily spreads through respiratory droplets or direct contact with the rash. While the disease is usually mild in children, it can lead to more severe complications in adults and individuals with weakened immune systems. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent chickenpox.
