Influenza virus particle
Influenza virus particle. Artwork showing the external structure of an influenza virus particle. The outer surface consists of two types of protein embedded in a lipid envelope. These surface proteins are haemagglutinin (H, red) and neuraminidase (N, spike). These surface proteins are used for recognising and binding to the host cell. The proportion of H and N proteins determine the strain of influenza virus and the severity of an infection. Examples (for influenza A, the most common type) are H1N1 (swine flu and Spanish Flu), H5N1 (avian flu), H2N2 (Asian Flu), and H3N2 (Hong Kong Flu)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate external structure of an influenza virus particle. The image highlights the lipid envelope that encases the virus, with two types of surface proteins embedded within it. These proteins, known as haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), play a crucial role in recognizing and binding to host cells. The proportion of H and N proteins present on the virus determines its strain and influences the severity of an infection. Examples of well-known strains include H1N1 (swine flu and Spanish Flu), H5N1 (avian flu), H2N2 (Asian Flu), and H3N2 (Hong Kong Flu). Each strain has distinct characteristics that impact their behavior within our bodies. This visually stunning illustration not only captures the beauty of this microscopic world but also serves as a reminder of how these tiny particles can have such a significant impact on human health. By studying their biochemistry, virologists gain valuable insights into combating influenza outbreaks. Science Photo Library brings us this remarkable print, offering a glimpse into the fascinating realm where art meets medicine. With its vibrant colors and precise details, this image is sure to captivate both scientific enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
