Computer graphic of a human figure with viruses
Human figure with viruses. Computer graphic showing a silhouette of a human figure, on a background of viruses. This abstract image may depict the many viral agents which can infect humans. Such viruses include HIV which causes AIDS, the measles virus and influenza virus, and viruses responsible for herpes and hepatitis. As seen here, viruses are made up of a protein coat of many shapes and symmetrical forms. Spikes on the coat facilitate viral attachment and infection of their host cells. Inside the viral coat is genetic material in the form of RNA or DNA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a computer graphic of a human figure surrounded by a multitude of viruses. The abstract image serves as a visual representation of the various viral agents that can infect humans, including notorious ones like HIV, measles, influenza, herpes, and hepatitis. The silhouette of the human figure stands out against the background filled with intricate virus particles. These viruses are composed of protein coats exhibiting diverse shapes and symmetrical forms. Notably, spikes on their surface enable them to attach to and invade host cells for infection. Contained within the viral coat lies genetic material in either RNA or DNA form. This genetic material is responsible for hijacking cellular machinery and replicating itself inside the host's body. The image offers an insightful glimpse into the complex world of infectious diseases and emphasizes how vulnerable our bodies can be to these microscopic invaders. It serves as a reminder that understanding these pathogens is crucial in developing effective treatments and preventive measures. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this conceptual artwork that combines elements of anatomy, imagery, and virology. It sparks curiosity about the intricacies of virus-host interactions while showcasing their visually striking nature.
