Ross River virus particle, artwork C013 / 4641
Ross River virus particle. Computer artwork showing the outer structure of a Ross River virus (RRV) particle (virion). RRV is a small encapsulated single-strand RNA alphavirus endemic to Australia, Papua New Guinea and other islands in the South Pacific. It is responsible for a type of mosquito-borne non-lethal but debilitating tropical disease known as Ross River fever. Each particle consists of a single-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome (not shown) surrounded by a protein capsid with glycoproteins (light green) embedded in its surface. These surface proteins are used for recognising and binding to the host cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Ross River virus particle" offers a detailed glimpse into the outer structure of a Ross River virus (RRV) particle. RRV is an alphavirus endemic to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and other islands in the South Pacific. Known for causing Ross River fever, a debilitating tropical disease transmitted by mosquitoes, this virus has become a significant concern in these regions. The image showcases the intricate composition of each RRV particle. At its core lies a single-stranded RNA genome responsible for its genetic information. Surrounding this vital component is a protein capsid that acts as protective armor against external threats. Embedded within the surface of the capsid are glycoproteins depicted in light green hues. These glycoproteins play crucial roles in recognizing and binding to host cells during infection. Through this visually stunning representation, we gain insight into the pathogenic nature of RRV and its ability to cause harm to individuals affected by it. This artwork serves as both an educational tool for understanding the biology behind such diseases and as an artistic expression capturing the beauty found even within microscopic organisms. Created by SPRINGER MEDIZIN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print stands as a testament to their dedication towards promoting scientific knowledge through visually engaging means. It reminds us of our ongoing battle against infectious diseases while highlighting the importance of research and medical advancements in combating them effectively.
