Flock house virus particle
Flock house virus particle. Computer artwork of the capsid of the flock house virus (FHV), with proteins represented by coloured blobs. The capsid is icosahedral (has 20 triangular faces), measures about 30 nanometres in diameter, and is composed of 32 capsomer proteins. The flock house virus is a member of the Nodaviridae family, being small viruses that carry their genetic material as RNA (ribonucleic acid). It kills the New Zealand grass grub insect

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a Flock house virus particle. In this computer artwork, the capsid of the virus is depicted as an icosahedral shape with 20 triangular faces. The capsid, measuring approximately 30 nanometres in diameter, consists of 32 capsomer proteins represented by vibrant colored blobs. Belonging to the Nodaviridae family, this small pathogenic virus carries its genetic material as RNA (ribonucleic acid). Its main target is the New Zealand grass grub insect which it effectively kills. The circular illustration beautifully captures the essence of this tiny yet powerful organism that plays a significant role in biology and medicine. The image provides valuable insights into virology and microbiology, shedding light on how viruses function at a structural level. It serves as a reminder of both their beauty and potential danger within our biological world. This multi-colored representation highlights the diversity and complexity present within these microscopic entities. Created through computer artwork, this illustration offers scientists and researchers an invaluable tool for studying viral structures and understanding their mechanisms better. By exploring such images, we can deepen our knowledge of biochemistry and gain further insight into how pathogens interact with living organisms. This print from Science Photo Library perfectly encapsulates the fascinating world of viruses while emphasizing their significance in medical research and disease control efforts worldwide.
