Shingles. Artwork of varicella-zoster virus particles (virions, blue) during shingles
Shingles. Artwork of varicella-zoster virus particles (virions, blue) during shingles. Each viron comprises an icosahedral (20-sided) capsid containing viral DNA, surrounded by surface protein spikes. When this virus is reactivated from an earlier chicken pox infection, it causes shingles or herpes zoster. The virus travels along sensory nerves to the skin where it causes small blisters (red), usually on the trunk or face. The blisters last around two weeks and, if untreated, nerve damage causes severe pain in the affected area. Reactivation may be associated with stress or reduced immune function. Antiviral drugs, like acyclovir, can help if taken early on

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of varicella-zoster virus particles, also known as virions, during a shingles outbreak. The image captures the essence of this viral infection that occurs when the dormant chickenpox virus reactivates in the body. The varicella-zoster virus is depicted as blue icosahedral capsids containing viral DNA, surrounded by surface protein spikes. As it travels along sensory nerves to the skin, small red blisters appear on the trunk or face, causing discomfort and pain for approximately two weeks. If left untreated, nerve damage can intensify the agony experienced in the affected area. Reactivation of this virus is often associated with stress or reduced immune function. However, antiviral drugs like acyclovir can effectively combat its effects if administered early on. This illustration not only highlights an important medical condition but also emphasizes how our nervous system plays a crucial role in transmitting signals related to touch and sensations throughout our bodies. It serves as a reminder of how delicate our neural pathways are and underscores the significance of maintaining good health care practices. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty in this print, providing viewers with a deeper understanding of shingles while appreciating its visual appeal from a unique perspective.
