Astrovirus capsid, molecular model C018 / 0450
Astrovirus capsid, molecular model. This icosahedral virus was identified in 1975 using electron microscopy. It has a characteristic five-pointed symmetry to its surface, as seen here. It causes a form of gastroenteritis in humans, with symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of an Astrovirus capsid, a virus that was first identified in 1975 through electron microscopy. The spherical shape of this icosahedral virus is beautifully illustrated against a black background, highlighting its distinct five-pointed symmetry. Astrovirus is known to cause gastroenteritis in humans, leading to unpleasant symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. This image provides us with a visual representation of the culprit behind these distressing experiences. The detailed artwork displayed here not only captures the aesthetic beauty of this viral protein shell but also serves as a valuable tool for researchers studying virology and molecular biology. By examining the structural components and macromolecules within this astrovirus capsid model, scientists can gain insights into its function and develop potential strategies for combating its effects on human health. With its precise cutouts and accurate depiction of biomolecules at play, this print offers an artistic yet informative perspective on the world of microbiology. It reminds us of the complexity hidden within even the tiniest organisms that can have significant impacts on our well-being. Credit: LOUISE HUGHES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
