Coronavirus, artwork F007 / 0229
Human coronavirus. Computer artwork of a Human coronavirus particle. Coronaviruses primarily infect the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tract and can cause the common cold, gastrointestinal infections and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Coronaviruses are named after the corona (crown) of surface proteins (outer dots) that are used to penetrate a host cell. Once inside the cell, the virus particles (virions) use the cells machinery to make more copies of themselves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Coronavirus, artwork F007 / 0229" showcases the intricate beauty of a human coronavirus particle. Against a striking black background, this computer-generated artwork highlights the menacing nature of these viruses that primarily target our upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Coronaviruses are notorious for causing various illnesses ranging from common colds to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Named after their distinctive crown-like surface proteins, which aid in penetrating host cells, coronaviruses exploit the cell's machinery to replicate themselves. The image provides an up-close view of these viral particles known as virions. Their complex structure and composition can be seen in detail – a reminder of their ability to wreak havoc within our bodies. With its focus on attack and disease, this artwork serves as a powerful representation of the pathogenic potential harbored by such microorganisms. As we navigate through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by another member of the coronavirus family, this image offers us insight into the world at an invisible scale. It reminds us of both the fragility and resilience exhibited by humanity when faced with microbial adversaries. Through its fusion of artistry and scientific accuracy, this medical illustration invites contemplation on topics spanning virology, microbiology, healthcare practices, and beyond. It stands as a testament to mankind's continuous efforts in understanding and combating infectious diseases like coronaviruses while emphasizing the importance of public health measures in safeguarding our well-being.
