Foot-and-mouth disease virus
Foot-and-mouth disease virus. Computer model of the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus Aphtae epizooticae, showing the symmetrical surface structure of the viruss outer protein coat (capsid). FMD affects cloven-hooved mammals, commonly cattle and pigs. Infected animals suffer fever, blistering on the hooves and mouth, and sometimes death. It is highly contagious, spreading by contact with infected animals and animal products, in the air and on materials exposed to infection. The rapid spread of the disease can cause epidemics, requiring quarantining and slaughter of infected animals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus, also known as Aphtae epizooticae. The image reveals the symmetrical surface structure of the virus's outer protein coat, scientifically referred to as capsid. FMD is a highly contagious viral infection that primarily affects cloven-hooved mammals such as cattle and pigs. The consequences of this devastating disease are evident in infected animals, who suffer from fever, blistering on their hooves and mouth, and even face death in severe cases. Due to its contagious nature, FMD spreads rapidly through contact with infected animals or animal products. It can also be transmitted through the air or by coming into contact with materials exposed to infection. The alarming speed at which this disease can spread often leads to epidemics that necessitate strict quarantining measures and ultimately result in the slaughter of infected animals. This print serves as a reminder of the critical role played by biochemistry and virology in understanding such complex diseases affecting agriculture and farming practices. With its circular shape resembling a molecular model, this image highlights both the biological intricacies involved in studying viruses like FMDV and their potential impact on our agricultural systems. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment within scientific research for us all to appreciate.
