Glass Coaster : Norwalk virus particle
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Norwalk virus particle
Norwalk virus particle. Computer artwork of the capsid of the Norwalk viruswith proteins represented by coloured blobs. The capsid is a protein coat that encloses the viruss RNA (ribonucleic acid)genome. This capsid is icosahedral in shape, with 20 triangular faces. The Norwalk virus belongs to the family Calciviridae, which are small viruses, lacking an outer glycoprotein coat. The virus is transmitted via contaminated water and food, and causes vomiting and diarrhoea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a Norwalk virus particle. Created through computer artwork, it vividly depicts the capsid of the virus, which is responsible for enclosing its RNA genome. The capsid takes on an icosahedral shape with 20 triangular faces, and proteins are represented by vibrant colored blobs. Belonging to the Calciviridae family, this small virus lacks an outer glycoprotein coat. It is primarily transmitted through contaminated water and food, leading to symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. This infectious pathogen causes gastroenteritis and is commonly known as the Norwalk virus or winter vomiting bug. The circular illustration emphasizes the round nature of this single-stranded RNA virus. Its structural complexity highlights its ability to cause acute illness in individuals who come into contact with it. This mesmerizing image not only serves as a visual representation of a pathogenic microorganism but also provides valuable insights into virology, biochemistry, and medicine. Through scientific exploration in microbiology, researchers can better understand how these viruses function and develop effective strategies for prevention and treatment. Science Photo Library has once again captured both beauty and knowledge within a single frame with their remarkable computer artwork depicting this Norwalk virus particle.
