Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zirus, an enveloped virus 200nm in diameter and 300nm in length with linear, double-stranded segmented DNA. It spreads through coughing, sneezing or sharing food/drink and causes skin lesions and fever. Treatment can be done at home with calamine lotion but serious cases require seeing a doctor. The chickenpox vaccine can prevent it, especially for young children, and having it once makes one immune from getting it again.
