SARS virus, conceptual artwork
SARS virus, conceptual 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, and here is represented as rows of space invaders attacking a chicken (bottom). 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 conceptual artwork, a print of the SARS virus, showcases the deadly nature of severe acute respiratory syndrome. Originating in China back in 2002, this lung disease has claimed numerous lives since its emergence. The SARS virus belongs to the coronavirus family and is depicted here as rows of space invaders launching an attack on a chicken at the bottom. Interestingly, birds like chickens serve as natural reservoirs for this virus. This illustration highlights how transmission from avian species to humans can potentially trigger a new epidemic outbreak of SARS. The image cleverly combines elements from biology, medicine, epidemiology, and virology to emphasize the complexity surrounding this infectious disease. The artist's choice to represent the SARS virus using space invaders adds a unique twist to this scientific depiction. It symbolizes both the relentless assault that viruses launch on their hosts and our ongoing battle against them. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of our vulnerability to emerging diseases in the 21st century. It encapsulates key concepts related to animal reservoirs, viral particles, respiratory health issues, and epidemiological concerns associated with SARS. Displayed here courtesy of Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any commercial use), this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the intricate interplay between art and science while contemplating humanity's ongoing struggle against infectious diseases like SARS.
