Infection by the varicella-zoster virus causes chickenpox. Evaluate the statements below and assess which are correct regarding the consequences of varicella infection. Individuals who recover from chickenpox are immune to the disease; however, the latent viral genome remains in the cells of the dorsal root ganglia. The varicella-zoster virus may reactivate years later, often as a result of a bacterial infection Shingles occurs when the reactivated virus travels down a sensory neuron and damages the cell resulting in postherpetic neuralgia Postherpetic neuralgia is typically confined to the trunk where the initial chickenpox rash was localized The varicella-zoster virus may reactivate when the individual is immunocompromised due to cancer, advanced age, etc. Individuals who recover from chickenpox are immune to the disease; however, virions can still be detected in the dorsal root ganglia.

Shingles and chickenpox are both viral diseases caused by the varicella-zoster herpes virus. Shingles usually occurs years after a person has had chickenpox. Based on the information, what kind of infection cycle do you think the varicella-zoster virus has? Link the infection cycle to the appearance of shingles years after initial infection with the virus.
