Flu viruses

Flu viruses. Influenza viruses (brown) budding from a host cell. Each virus consists of a core of RNA (ribonucleic acid) genetic material surrounded by a protein coat (brown). Embedded in the coat are surface proteins (spikes). There are two types of surface protein, haemagglutinin and neuraminidase, and each exists in several subtypes. Both surface proteins are associated with the pathogenicity of a virus. Haemagglutinin binds to host cells, allowing the virus to enter them and replicate. Neuraminidase allows the new particles to exit the host after replication

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of flu viruses. In this stunning illustration, we witness the process of budding, where influenza viruses emerge from a host cell. Each virus is composed of RNA genetic material at its core, enveloped by a protective protein coat in shades of brown. Embedded within this coat are surface proteins known as spikes. These spikes play a crucial role in the pathogenicity of the virus. Haemagglutinin, one type of surface protein, binds to host cells and facilitates viral entry and replication. On the other hand, neuraminidase assists in releasing newly replicated particles from their host after reproduction. The image not only highlights the complexity and beauty found within these microscopic pathogens but also serves as a reminder of their potential danger to human health. With references to avian flu (H5N1), bird flu, pandemics, and infections, it underscores how vital understanding these biological agents is for medicine and biology. As we gaze upon this computer artwork that combines scientific accuracy with artistic representation, we gain insight into the fascinating field of virology. It reminds us that behind every epidemic or outbreak lies an intricate dance between viruses and our own bodies' defenses—a dance that scientists tirelessly study to protect humanity's well-being.
