Foot-and-mouth disease virus F006 / 9471
Foot-and-mouth disease virus. Molecular model of the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus Aphtae epizooticae, with antibodies (immunoglobulins, yellow) attached to the viruss outer protein coat (capsid). FMD affects cloven-hooved mammals, commonly cattle and pigs, and is highly contagious. Antibodies are created by an animals immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects (antigens), such as bacteria and viruses. Each antibody is specific to a particular antigen. A specialised region (hypervariable region) on the antibody binds to a specific site on the antigens surface, rendering it ineffective

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of the Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus, also known as Aphtae epizooticae. The intricate structure of the virus is depicted against a clean white background, allowing for a clear focus on its composition. The outer protein coat of the FMD virus is adorned with vibrant yellow immunoglobulins, commonly referred to as antibodies. Foot-and-mouth disease primarily affects cloven-hooved mammals such as cattle and pigs, and it spreads rapidly due to its highly contagious nature. In this image, we witness how antibodies play a crucial role in combating this infectious illness. These specialized proteins are produced by an animal's immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. Each antibody possesses specificity towards a particular antigen, enabling them to bind effectively with their target sites on the surface of antigens like FMDV. This binding process renders the virus ineffective and aids in preventing further infection. The molecular structure portrayed here provides valuable insights into virology research and medicine development related to foot-and-mouth disease. It serves as a powerful tool for studying biochemical pathways associated with viral infections while shedding light on potential therapeutic interventions. With its meticulous detail and scientific accuracy, this print exemplifies how artistry can merge seamlessly with microbiology to create visually stunning representations that contribute significantly to our understanding of diseases like foot-and-mouth disease.
