Various cells are involved. The varicella-zoster virus enters through the respiratory system. Then it is found in the lymph nodes 4-6 days later the virus enters the cells of the spleen and liver. After a week the virus travels to the viscera and skin, causing the typical skin markings.

∙ 11y agoThe chicken pox first targets the epidermis or mucous and then moves into the sensory nerve cells. From there it moves into the dorsal sensory ganglion where it become inactive. Around 1/3 reactivate later in life and move down the nerves and produce what is called shingles.

Where do chickenpox get their energy from?
Chickenpox virus gets its energy from the host cell.
How does Varicella zoster virus cause Chickenpox?
ok, Varicella, or Herpes Zoster is a cell to cell process. It can be spread through contact or air-born pathways. Once it invades the body it travels to the ganglia, or nerves of the body. Once your chickenpox episode is over, guess what? The Varicella is still in the body, only it has become dormant. It travels down the nerves into the spinal column. If it becomes active again, which can happen, it presents as "shingles". That's what they mean when they say if you have had Chickenpox you can get shingles. That's what shingles is; a reactivated, once dormant Chickenpox.
How did the first person get chickenpox?
If someone has already been infected with chickenpox, they are immune to it. Vaccines are also available. You have immune system in your body. This system recognizes the 'Foreign protein' that has entered in your body in the form of infection. It give rise to cell mediated and humeral immunity against the various infections, once you catch the same. Immunity against the virus infection is usually life long as against the bacterial infections. You get immunity to chickenpox by way of immunization. You can get passive immunity by injecting the chickenpox immunoglobins. Thirdly you can get the immunity by catching the disease by deliberate exposure of the child to chickenpox patient. After the attack of chickenpox you have immunity against the virus.
What is the use of lymphocyte?
it is for immunity T-cell is for attack and B-cell is for anti body
Can chickenpox be inside a human cell?
yes
If you had chickenpox at age 7 What might prevent you from getting chickenpox a year later?
You cannot get chickenpox twice. Your body adapts to the virus and you no longer break out. You can, however, get shingles later in life from the chickenpox virus still in your body.
How does your body fight chickenpox?
The first line of defense against chickenpox are the defenses of the upper respiratory mucosa. The mucous and cilia help to sweep the virus out of the body. The inflammatory response releases inflammatory modulators that help destroy or incapacitate the virus. White blood cells find small parts of the chickenpox virus -- the "antigen" -- and learn to make antibodies to fight the antigen. If the body is infected again with the virus, these cells will produce antigen quickly to fight reinfection.
Where on the body do you find chickenpox?
Chickenpox bumps can be found on any skin or mucous membranes.
How does bacteria attack cells?
It Can attack The Bacteria In Our Body Because The Cell Is Not Connected To The Bacteria N That How It Can Harm It
How does the chickenpox virus enter sensory nerves?
The virus slams against the nerve cell and opens the nerve cell's membrane by fusing its membrane with it. The contents of the virus enter the nerves and begin the negative effects.
Can you only get adult chickenpox on one part of the body?
Chickenpox in children and adults is typically throughout the body. Shingles is likely to be found on only one part of the body.
How does a B cell tell the difference between an invader cell and a body cell?
Antigens work as bar-codes to help the immune system differentiate between body cells and pathogens. Normally the body will not attack its own cells, but is programmed to attack those with foreign antigens.
