Parvovirus particle, molecular model F006 / 9499
Parvovirus particle. Molecular model showing the structure of the capsid (outer protein coat) of a human parvovirus (family Parvoviridae) particle. Parvoviridae viruses include the smallest known viruses and some of the most environmentally resistant. Each particle consists of a single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genome (not shown) surrounded by an icosahedral protein capsid. Many virus particles belonging to this family have been associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis, although a causative role in human disease cannot always be established

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of a Parvovirus particle, specifically highlighting the structure of its outer protein coat known as the capsid. The human parvovirus belongs to the family Parvoviridae, which is renowned for housing some of the smallest and most resilient viruses ever discovered. Each individual particle consists of a single-stranded DNA genome enveloped by an icosahedral protein capsid. The significance of this image lies in shedding light on the potential role these viruses play in causing outbreaks of gastroenteritis. While many virus particles within this family have been associated with such illness, establishing their direct causative impact on human disease remains challenging. With its white background and meticulous illustration, this print serves as a valuable resource for researchers and medical professionals alike. It delves into various aspects related to biology, medicine, infection, disorders, and virology. Furthermore, it highlights key elements like molecular structures such as alpha helixes and beta sheets that contribute to understanding viral pathogenesis. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY under non-commercial use conditions, this artwork provides insights into proteomics and biochemistry while exemplifying healthcare's crucial intersection with microbiology. Its cutout format makes it ideal for scientific presentations or educational purposes where visual aids are essential tools for conveying complex concepts effectively.
