The reason I chose chicken pox as my disease, is because it can be a fun topic to present. Furthermore, there are things that I was not aware of, about chicken pox. While I …show more content…
When maturity of the virus is reached the spikes allow a way of escape. Next is the (lipid envelope). This is the viruses’ lipid and protein structure that is derived from the host cell membrane, according to William Lucas, WuXi AppTec, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA April 2010. “The capsid and envelope have many roles in viral infection, including virus attachment to cells, entry into cells, release of the capsid contents of the cells, and packaging of newly formed viral particles. The capsid and envelope are responsible for transfer of the viral genetic material from one cell to another. These structures, moreover, determine the stability characteristics of the virus particle, such as resistance to chemical or physical inactivation." Moving on to the (tegument), this is a load of proteins that fill the space that is in between the envelope and the nuclei-capsid. The (nuclei-capsid) is the shell that has the viral nucleic acid enclosed inside. Finally the (double-stranded DNA stranded DNA genome) this is the specific code for the varicella zoster/ herpes virus.
How does the virus affect the organism, organ system or the organ itself? To the side is a figure provided by Google 's images, of how the varicella virus works within the nerve system and
