Avian flu virus
Avian flu virus, computer artwork. A virus is a tiny pathogenic particle comprising genetic material enclosed in a protein coat. The coat contains surface proteins (spikes). Flu viruses have two types of surface protein, called haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). These exist in several subtypes, only some of which are pathogenic in humans. The current bird flu that is endemic in birds is H5N1. The surface proteins are essential for the life cycle of the virus. Haemagglutinin allows the virus to bind to and enter a host cell, where the virus uses the cells machinery to create more copies of the virus. Neuraminidase allows the new virus particles to exit the cell, so that they can infect others

Introducing the Media Storehouse collection of Photographic Prints featuring the captivating image of the Avian Flu Virus. This striking print showcases a computer-generated artwork of the virus, revealing its intricate structure. The Avian Flu Virus, a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family, is a tiny yet potent particle, with its protective coat encasing the genetic material. The surface of the coat is adorned with spike-like proteins, which play a crucial role in the virus's ability to infect and replicate within host cells. This visually engaging print is an excellent addition to any scientific or medical workspace, education facility, or home, inspiring curiosity and appreciation for the complex world of microbiology.
Ideal for framing, Australian made Photo Prints are produced on high-quality 270 gsm lustre photo paper which has a subtle shimmer adding a touch of elegance, designed to enhance their visual appeal.
Our Photo Prints are in a large range of sizes and are printed on Archival Quality Paper for excellent colour reproduction and longevity. They are ideal for framing (our Framed Prints use these) at a reasonable cost. Alternatives include cheaper Poster Prints and higher quality Fine Art Paper, the choice of which is largely dependant on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 25.4cm x 20.3cm (10" x 8")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the Avian flu virus, depicted through stunning computer artwork. The virus, a minuscule pathogenic particle enveloped in a protein coat, is brought to life in this magnified image. The surface proteins on its coat, known as haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), play crucial roles in its life cycle. Haemagglutinin enables the virus to attach itself to and invade host cells, where it hijacks their machinery to replicate itself. Neuraminidase then facilitates the release of newly formed viral particles from the infected cell, allowing them to spread and infect others. The current strain of bird flu that plagues avian populations is H5N1, one among several subtypes of influenza viruses. While only certain subtypes are harmful to humans, understanding their structure and behavior is essential for combating potential epidemics or pandemics. Through this illustration created by Science Photo Library's talented artists, we gain insight into the microscopic world of virology and epidemiology. This mesmerizing artwork serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle between humanity and infectious diseases like avian influenza.
