The present invention relates to novel varicella-zoster virus strains and to a chicken pox and herpes zoster virus vaccine using same. More particularly, the present invention relates to genome DNA of VZV MVA06 isolated from a Korean patient, to an open reading frame (ORF) thereof, to a protein coded by the genome DNA of VZV MVA06 and the ORF thereof, and to a vaccine composition which contains the protein as an active ingredient. Cette invention concerne de nouvelles souches du virus de varicella-zoster, et un vaccin contre la varicelle et le virus de l'herpès-zoster les utilisant. Plus particulièrement, cette invention concerne l'ADN génomique de VZV MVA06 isolé à partir d'un patient coréen, un cadre de lecture ouvert (ORF) de celui-ci, une protéine codée par l'ADN génomique de VZV MVA06 et son ORF, et une composition vaccinale qui contient la protéine à titre de principe actif.
