Solution:

Herpesviridae is the scientific term for the group of viruses colloquially known as herpes viruses. The type that causes chickenpox is known as varicella-zoster virus (VZV).

After a period of dormancy, VZV can reactivate and trigger a common yet painful disease called shingles. While it is typically referred to as herpes zoster when it causes shingles, the virus is ultimately VZV by another name.
