Canine parvovirus capsid C015 / 8460
Canine parvovirus capsid, molecular model. Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV2) was first recognized in 1978 and spread worldwide in less than two years. It affects dogs and there are two forms of the disease; the more common intestinal form and the rarer cardiac form. A vaccine is available. In viruses, the capsid is the protein shell that encloses the genetic material. It 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 capsid functions is to aid transmission of the viral genetic material into host cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Canine Parvovirus capsid C015/8460. The Canine Parvovirus, also known as CPV2, emerged in 1978 and rapidly spread worldwide within two years. This highly contagious virus primarily affects dogs, manifesting in two forms: the more common intestinal form and the rarer cardiac form. Fortunately, a vaccine is available to combat this disease. In this image, set against a striking black background, we witness the remarkable protein shell that encloses the viral genetic material. Composed of self-assembling capsomeres, these subunits come together to create an approximately spherical-shaped shell with icosahedral symmetry. The primary function of this capsid is to facilitate the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. The detailed illustration not only highlights the structural complexity of Canine Parvovirus but also emphasizes its significance within biology and virology fields. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and intricacy found at microscopic levels. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this artwork provides valuable insights into canine parvovirus's biochemical nature while showcasing its relevance in understanding diseases affecting animals. With its meticulous depiction and scientific accuracy, this image stands as a testament to our ongoing exploration of molecular structures and their impact on living organisms.
