Final answer:
The statement is true; chickenpox is transmitted via respiratory droplets and direct contact with vesicles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that chickenpox is transmitted by respiratory droplets and by direct contact with the vesicles is true. Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, a member of the herpesvirus family.
This virus is primarily spread through contact with aerosols, particles, or droplets from an infected individual's blisters or respiratory secretions, as well as from skin rash or eye secretions of an infected person. The virus has a characteristic way of presenting itself with a fever, chills, and a pustular rash, particularly on the trunk, which makes direct contact with the blisters an easy mode of transmission.
