Chicken Pox vs. коpь

Hi!

Could someone please tell me how to say "chicken pox" in Russian? Is it the same as коpь? If not, what is коpь in English?

Thanks!

Just as a note, if there's a Wikipedia article on something, that can also be a place to find a translation. Just scroll down to the “alternate languages for this article” bit and click on русский or whatever.
