Trypanosome protozoan, artwork
Trypanosome protozoan. Artwork of a section through a Trypanosoma congolense protozoan. This parasite is a cause of the disease nagana in cattle and other livestock in Africa. Seen within the cell are the nucleus, which contains the animals genetic information and the nucleolus. A mitochondrion provides the cell with energy. Endoplasmic reticulum is the site of lipid and protein synthesis in the cell. The Golgi complex packages proteins. A flagella (orange) runs the length of the cell and is used for locomotion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases a section through a Trypanosoma congolense protozoan, a notorious parasite responsible for causing nagana disease in African livestock. Against a striking black background, the intricate details of this single-celled organism come to life. The nucleus, housing the genetic information of the animal, is prominently displayed alongside the nucleolus. Providing energy to the cell is a giant mitochondrion, while lipid and protein synthesis take place in the endoplasmic reticulum. The Golgi complex can be seen packaging proteins with precision. A vibrant orange flagella gracefully runs along the length of this trypanosome protozoan, serving as its means of locomotion through its host's bloodstream. This mesmerizing illustration not only highlights the biological intricacies but also serves as an artistic representation of nature's wonders. With labels meticulously placed throughout this artwork, it offers an educational insight into various organelles and structures within this pathogenic parasite. Its detailed portrayal invites viewers to delve into zoology and parasitology while appreciating both scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this image that combines artistry with biology seamlessly. It stands as a testament to their commitment to providing visually stunning representations that educate and inspire curiosity about our natural world.
