True of False? Chicken pox, measles and mumps are all viral infections.?

TRUE

Chicken pox = varicella zoster virus (VZV)
Measles = rubeola virus (paramyxovirus family)
Mumps = mumps virus (paramyxovirus family)

There are vaccines for ALL (yes, even for chicken pox now) so they are all preventable viral infections.

Ok...who votes against a correct answer and then doesn't post any comments? That is LAME! Report It

true

they are a sickness mostly everybody gets them sooner than later
