Bluetongue virus capsid, molecular model F006 / 9687

Bluetongue virus capsid, molecular model. This virus, transmitted by midges, causes bluetongue disease in ruminants (commonly sheep, and less frequently cattle, goats and deer). In viruses, the capsid is the protein shell that encloses the genetic material. A capsid consists of subunits called capsomeres that self-assemble to form the shell seen here. Here, this shell, approximately spherical in shape, has icosahedral symmetry. One of the functions of the capsid is to aid the transmission of the viral genetic material into host cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the Bluetongue virus capsid, a significant component of this pathogenic virus. The Bluetongue virus is primarily transmitted by midges and causes bluetongue disease in ruminants such as sheep, cattle, goats, and deer. The image highlights the protein shell known as the capsid that envelops the genetic material within viruses. Composed of self-assembling subunits called capsomeres, this spherical-shaped shell exhibits icosahedral symmetry. Apart from providing structural integrity to the virus particle, one of its crucial functions is facilitating the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. With a white background accentuating its intricate details, this illustration serves as an invaluable tool for research and medicine in understanding how this particular virus operates at a molecular level. It sheds light on various aspects including virology, protein structure (such as alpha helix and beta sheet), proteomics, biochemistry, microbiology, and healthcare. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY with meticulous attention to detail and accuracy in representation; it offers scientists and medical professionals a visual aid to study this pathogen's behavior more comprehensively. This artwork not only contributes to our knowledge about bluetongue viruses but also exemplifies how scientific imagery can be both informative and aesthetically pleasing.
