SARS virus and chicken, artwork
SARS virus and chicken, computer artwork. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an often fatal lung disease that first appeared in China in 2002. The SARS virus is a coronavirus (spheres), with the protrusions being surface proteins that aid the infection process. Birds, such as chickens, are one of the natural reservoirs for this virus. Spread of the virus from birds to humans is one way that a new SARS epidemic outbreak might take place

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork, titled "SARS virus and chicken" showcases the intricate relationship between the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus and its natural reservoir, chickens. Created by Science Photo Library, this print offers a visually stunning representation of the SARS virus, which emerged in China back in 2002 as a deadly lung disease. The SARS virus depicted here is a coronavirus characterized by its spherical shape. The protrusions on its surface are vital surface proteins that facilitate infection. Interestingly, birds like chickens serve as one of the natural hosts for this virus. This connection raises concerns about potential transmission from birds to humans, potentially leading to new outbreaks of SARS. Combining elements of artistry and scientific accuracy, this illustration delves into various fields such as ornithology, virology, epidemiology, and veterinary medicine. It highlights how interdisciplinary approaches can enhance our understanding of complex biological phenomena. By shedding light on the molecular structure and behavior of viruses like SARS within their animal reservoirs, researchers can better comprehend their pathogenicity and devise effective preventive measures against future epidemics. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder that exploring the intricacies of biology at microscopic levels is crucial for safeguarding public health in the 21st century.
