Norwalk virus contamination, artwork
Norwalk virus contamination, conceptual computer artwork. Door handle contaminated with Norwalk virus, or norovirus, particles (virions). The virus particle consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) core surrounded by a protein capsid (multicoloured). Infection with the Norwalk virus is very common and is transmitted via contaminated food and water. It causes vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pains

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the Norwalk virus contamination in a visually striking and thought-provoking manner. The conceptual computer artwork depicts a door handle contaminated with Norwalk virus particles, also known as norovirus. The vibrant multicolored protein capsid surrounding the RNA core of the virus is beautifully illustrated. The Norwalk virus is a highly common infection that spreads through contaminated food and water, making it easily transferable. Its symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pains, causing gastroenteritis in individuals affected by this contagious pathogen. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the widespread nature of infectious diseases and their potential to cause disruption within our society. It serves as a powerful representation of how easily pathogens can spread through everyday objects like door handles. With its blend of biology and artistry, this image captures the essence of virology and epidemiology while highlighting the importance of understanding disease transmission for medical professionals and researchers alike. It provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the intricate biochemistry behind viral infections while emphasizing the need for proper hygiene practices to prevent further contamination. Overall, this print stimulates curiosity about viruses' impact on our health and encourages us to delve deeper into microbiological research for improved prevention strategies against such widespread disorders.
