Gram-positive and gram-negative refer to the Gram stain used to prepare slides of bacteria for viewing under a light microscope. Viruses are too small to see under a light microscope and have to be prepared differently for viewing under an electron microscope. So the answer to your question is neither

When was vzv discovered?
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) was discovered in 1958 by Thomas H. Weller and Franklin P. Neva. They successfully isolated the virus from vesicles on the skin of patients with chickenpox.
Is the varicella zoster virus a lytic or lysogenic virus. So I can't find any cut and dry answers to this. Is it both?
The varicella zoster virus (VZV) is primarily considered a lytic virus, as it replicates and causes cell death during the acute phase of infection, leading to chickenpox. However, it can also establish latency in sensory nerve ganglia after the initial infection, which is characteristic of lysogenic viruses. Thus, while VZV primarily exhibits lytic behavior, its ability to remain dormant in the host's nervous system allows it to exhibit lysogenic properties as well.
What kind of viruses lives permanently in the cell and flare up periodically?
Herpes viruses, such as herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus, are examples of viruses that can establish latent infections in host cells and reactivate periodically, leading to flare-ups of symptoms.
Are HPV viruses RNA or DNA viruses?
Rhinoviruses store their genetic information in RNA.They belong to the Picornaviridae family, which is in Class IV of the Baltimore classification, that is, the viruses with positive-sense single-stranded RNA.
What does a positive varicella zoster virus igg mean?

Is varicella zoster virus a cell?
Viruses aren't cells, and varicella zoster virus is not a cell.
Does varicella zoster virus cause chickenpox?
Yes, chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). VZV is a virus in the herpes family.
What is the family of chickenpox?
The genus is Varicellovirus and the species is human herpesvirus 3, also known as varicella zoster virus.
What has the author Allison Abendroth written?
Allison Abendroth has written: 'Varicella-zoster virus' -- subject(s): Varicella-zoster virus, Herpesvirus 3, Human
If the chickenpox and shingles are caused by the same virus why is the virus called varicella zoster when it's associated with chickenpox and herpes zoster when it's associated wit?
The virus is called varicella zoster virus regardless of whether it is causing chickenpox or shingles. The scientific name of shingles disease is herpes zoster, and the scientific name of chickenpox disease is varicella.
What group is chickenpox in?
Chickenpox virus (varicella zoster virus) is in the herpes virus family.
What kingdom does chickenpox belong to?
Chickenpox (varicella zoster virus) is a virus.
Which viral infection is commonly known as chickenpox?
Varicella is the scientific name for chickenpox. This virus is known as Varicella zoster virus.
WHAT IS VARICELLA ZOSTER IgG?
Varicella Zoster IgG is an antibody that indicates past infection with the varicella zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, or vaccination against it. The presence of IgG antibodies suggests that the individual has immunity to the virus, either from having had chickenpox or from receiving the varicella vaccine. Testing for Varicella Zoster IgG can be important for assessing immunity in pregnant women, healthcare workers, or individuals considering vaccination.
What is the common name for rubella?
Varicella is the scientific name for chickenpox. The virus that causes chickenpox is varicella zoster virus.
Do microbes cause chickenpox?
A virus called varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox.
