Abstract computer graphic of a viral attack
Viral attack. Three-dimensional computer graphic representation of spiked viruses (at top) on the attack. The microscopic surface of a cell is depicted at bottom, with some viruses budding out of the cell. Viruses are infectious agents. They cause ailments ranging from warts, the common cold and influenza, to serious diseases like rabies, Lassa fever and AIDS. The viruses consist of a protein coat that houses genetic material. Spikes on the coat allow these viruses to bind to the surface of host cells before infection. Spiked viruses include HIV which causes AIDS, and the influenza virus. Viral spikes may change structure to form a new strain of the virus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an abstract computer graphic representation of a viral attack. At the top, we witness three-dimensional spiked viruses launching their assault on unsuspecting host cells. The intricate microscopic surface of a cell is depicted at the bottom, with some viruses emerging and budding outwards. Viruses, these infectious agents that range from causing common ailments like warts and colds to severe diseases such as rabies, Lassa fever, and AIDS, are brought to life in this artwork. Composed of a protein coat housing genetic material, these tiny invaders utilize spikes on their surface to bind themselves to host cells before initiating infection. Notable examples of spiked viruses include HIV (the culprit behind AIDS) and the influenza virus. What makes this image even more intriguing is its symbolic nature; it serves as a visual reminder of the constant battle between our immune systems and these microscopic adversaries that threaten our well-being. Moreover, it highlights how viral spikes can undergo structural changes leading to the emergence of new strains. Crafted by Science Photo Library's talented artists, this illustration seamlessly merges artistry with scientific accuracy to create an impactful representation of a viral attack in all its complexity. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in understanding such phenomena and a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by infectious diseases worldwide.
