See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These findings indicate that after primary infection with varicella-zoster virus(varicella),the virus becomes latent in many ganglia-more often in the trigeminal ganglia than in any thoracic ganglion-and that more than one region of the viral genome is present during latency.
