Dengue virus particle
Dengue virus particle, molecular model. This virus belongs to the Flavivirus group of viruses. It consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome surrounded by a protein nucleocapsid. This is encased in an envelope derived from its host cell membrane. This virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, causes the tropical disease dengue fever. Symptoms can range from a mild fever and joint pain to spontaneous bleeding of the skin and circulatory failure, which are often fatal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a Dengue virus particle, offering a glimpse into the world of molecular biology and virology. Belonging to the Flavivirus group, this pathogenic virus is responsible for causing dengue fever, a tropical disease transmitted by mosquitoes. The image reveals the composition of this tiny menace - an RNA genome encased in a protein nucleocapsid, all surrounded by an envelope derived from its host cell membrane. The artistic representation highlights the complexity and elegance of this biological entity. Dengue fever manifests with varying symptoms ranging from mild fever and joint pain to more severe complications like spontaneous bleeding of the skin and circulatory failure. Unfortunately, these advanced stages can often prove fatal. Through this mesmerizing artwork, we gain insight into both the beauty and danger that coexist within our natural world. It serves as a reminder of how viruses such as Dengue exploit their environment to survive and propagate. As we delve deeper into understanding these microorganisms, scientists strive to develop effective treatments or preventive measures against vector-borne diseases like dengue fever. This image stands as a testament to ongoing research efforts aimed at combating infectious diseases that pose significant threats to global health.
