Parvovirus particle, artwork C013 / 4640
Parvovirus particle. Computer artwork showing the outer structure of a human parvovirus (family Parvoviridae) particle (virion). Parvoviridae viruses include the smallest known viruses and some of the most environmentally resistant. Each particle consists of a single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genome (not shown) surrounded by an icosahedral protein capsid. Many virus particles belonging to this family have been associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis, although a causative role in human disease cannot always be established

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Parvovirus Particle" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the outer structure of a human parvovirus. Created by SPRINGER MEDIZIN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this computer-generated illustration showcases the intricate details of this tiny yet potent pathogen. Belonging to the Parvoviridae family, these viruses are known for their remarkably small size and exceptional resistance to environmental conditions. Each particle consists of a single-stranded DNA genome enveloped within an icosahedral protein capsid. While not visible in this artwork, it is crucial to note that the genetic material plays a pivotal role in viral replication and infection. Although many virus particles from this family have been associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis, establishing their direct causative role in human disease can sometimes be challenging. Nonetheless, understanding their surface structure and pathogenic properties is essential for advancing our knowledge in virology and developing effective medical interventions. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail make this artwork both scientifically informative and visually stunning. It serves as a reminder of the complex world of microorganisms that coexist with us, constantly shaping our health and well-being. Whether you are fascinated by biology or simply intrigued by the wonders of nature at its smallest scale, this print is sure to captivate your imagination.
