From the article: "But the team concluded only exposure to the herpes B virus, which causes chicken pox and shingles, seemed to be linked with cerebral palsy."

interesting - I read it to be primarily concerned with herpes simplex not herpes zoster. my mistake. will have to find the actual research papers. will change the title
