Dengue virus capsid, molecular model F006 / 9392
Dengue virus capsid, molecular model. This virus, transmitted by mosquito bites, causes the tropical disease dengue fever in humans. 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 Dengue virus capsid, a key component in the transmission of dengue fever. The virus, which is transmitted through mosquito bites, causes this tropical disease that affects humans worldwide. Within viruses, the capsid acts as a protective protein shell that encloses the viral genetic material. The spherical-shaped shell depicted here exhibits icosahedral symmetry and is composed of smaller subunits called capsomeres. These capsomeres self-assemble to form the robust structure seen in this image. One crucial role of the capsid is to facilitate the efficient transmission of viral genetic material into host cells during infection. With its white background and meticulous illustration, this print provides a visually striking representation of this significant biological structure. It serves as a valuable tool for researchers and medical professionals studying dengue fever and related illnesses. By delving into molecular structures like this one, scientists gain insights into how pathogens such as viruses operate at a microscopic level. This knowledge fuels advancements in medicine, proteomics, virology, and biochemistry – all essential fields dedicated to understanding diseases like dengue fever. Displayed with precision and artistic flair by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal while shedding light on an important aspect of microbiology within healthcare research.
