Rotavirus particle, artwork
Rotavirus particle. Cut-away artwork showing the structure of the rotavirus icosahedral capsid (protein coat). The capsid, which encloses the RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome, has three layers: the inner capsid (pink and white), the intermediate capsid and the outer capsid. Rotavirus infection causes vomiting and diarrhoea and is the most common cause of severe diarrhoea in children

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate structure of a rotavirus particle, a notorious pathogen responsible for causing severe diarrhoea and vomiting in children. The cut-away illustration reveals the three layers of the virus's icosahedral capsid, or protein coat. At its core lies the RNA genome, enclosed by an inner pink and white capsid, followed by an intermediate layer and finally an outer protective capsid. The artist's attention to detail brings this microscopic world to life against a clean white background. This print serves as both a stunning piece of art and an educational tool in biology and medicine. Its relevance extends beyond aesthetics; it offers valuable insights into the molecular model of this particular RNA virus. As one delves deeper into virology, understanding these complex structures becomes crucial in combating diseases caused by such pathogens. The triple-layered nature of this rotavirus particle is highlighted through meticulous precision in depicting each component. Science Photo Library has once again captured scientific beauty with their remarkable portrayal of this rota virus particle artwork. It stands as a testament to their commitment to providing visually striking images that bridge science with artistry. Whether displayed within medical institutions or private collections, this print invites viewers on a journey into the fascinating realm of microbiology while raising awareness about the significant impact viruses can have on our health.
