Vaccinia virus infected cell
Vaccinia virus infected cell. Immunofluorescence deconvolution micrograph of a cell infected with vaccinia virus particles. Host and viral DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is blue. The host cells DNA is contained within its nucleus (large oval at centre). The blue area to the left of the nucleus is filled with viral factories. Actin protein filaments, which make up part of the cytoskeleton, are green. The cytoskeleton maintains the cells shape and is involved in intracellular transport. Vaccinia causes cowpox, a disease of cattle and humans, which produces skin lesions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of a vaccinia virus infected cell. Through immunofluorescence deconvolution micrography, we are granted a glimpse into the complex interaction between host and viral DNA. The blue hue represents both the genetic material of the host cell, confined within its nucleus at the center, as well as the viral factories that occupy the space to its left. In this mesmerizing display, green actin protein filaments weave their way throughout the cell's cytoskeleton. These filaments play a crucial role in maintaining cellular structure and facilitating intracellular transport processes. As we delve deeper into understanding this image, it becomes apparent that vaccinia virus is no ordinary pathogen. Known for causing cowpox in cattle and humans alike, this virus manifests itself through skin lesions. Its ability to replicate and reproduce within infected cells is evident from these vibrant colors captured under a light microscope. The interplay between biochemical components such as DNA and proteins takes center stage in virology research. Through immunofluorescent techniques and confocal micrography like this one by Science Photo Library, scientists gain valuable insights into how viruses manipulate their hosts on a molecular level. This print serves as a testament to our ongoing pursuit of knowledge in medicine and biology – an ever-evolving quest to combat infectious diseases that impact both animals and humans alike.
