Polyoma BK virus, artwork C013 / 7465
Computer artwork of the capsid of a polyoma BK virus. This polyomavirus is common in the urinary tract of adults, where it lives without harming its host. BK virus has been found to cause the growth of tumours in newborn rodents but there is no evidence that it causes cancer in humans. In monkeys with suppressed immune systems, the virus causes kidney disease and can damage the myelin sheaths surrounding nerve fibres

Introducing the Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating computer artwork of the Polyoma BK virus, C013 / 7465, by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY. This stunning visualization showcases the intricate structure of this common urinary tract polyomavirus, which coexists harmlessly with its adult human hosts. Bring the wonders of science into your workspace or home decor with our high-quality, vibrant poster prints.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of a polyoma BK virus, known as artwork C013 / 7465. The image reveals the circular structure of this pathogenic microorganism, highlighting its round shape and structural complexity. Polyoma BK virus is commonly found in the urinary tract of adults, peacefully coexisting with its host without causing harm. Although this virus has been observed to induce tumor growth in newborn rodents, there is currently no evidence suggesting that it poses a cancer risk to humans. However, caution must be exercised when dealing with monkeys whose immune systems are suppressed since they can suffer from kidney disease and damage to their nerve fibers' protective myelin sheaths due to this viral infection. The mesmerizing visual representation emphasizes the importance of understanding viruses at a microscopic level. The protein-based capsid surrounding the virion plays a crucial role in protecting and delivering genetic material within cells during infection. This artwork serves as a reminder of how diverse and fascinating our microbial world truly is. It offers valuable insights into virology and microbiology while shedding light on the complex interactions between pathogens and their hosts. PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty through this remarkable depiction of the polyoma BK virus's capsid structure – an exquisite fusion of science and art.
