Immature West Nile virus, molecular model
Immature West Nile virus. Computer model showing the molecular structure of the protein coat (capsid) of an immature West Nile virus particle. The capsid encloses the viruss genetic information (genome), stored as RNA (ribonucleic acid). West Nile virus (Flavivirus sp.) is transmitted by mosquitoes. Mild illness with flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, back pain and muscle aches, is known as West Nile fever. More severe forms of the disease are called West Nile encephalitis or West Nile meningitis and can cause confusion, and near-coma loss of consciousness

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of an immature West Nile virus particle. The computer-generated model vividly depicts the protein coat, known as the capsid, which envelops the virus's genetic information stored in RNA. West Nile virus, belonging to the Flavivirus family, is primarily transmitted through mosquito bites. While mild cases of this viral infection manifest flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, back pain, and muscle aches—referred to as West Nile fever—the disease can progress into more severe forms like West Nile encephalitis or West Nile meningitis. These advanced stages may lead to confusion and even near-coma loss of consciousness. The circular illustration presented here combines artistry with scientific precision to portray this pathogenic agent responsible for causing neurological disorders. Its round shape and single-cut out appearance make it visually striking while conveying its biological significance. With its focus on biochemistry and virology, this image offers valuable insights into understanding viruses at a molecular level. It serves as a reminder of both the invasive nature of these microscopic entities within our bodies and their potential impact on human health. This remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library provides researchers in microbiology and medicine with a powerful visual tool for studying West Nile viruses' structure and behavior—a testament to how art can intersect with science in illuminating ways.
