Flu virus infection, conceptual image
Flu virus infection, conceptual image. Computer artwork showing influenza virus particles (round) in the respiratory tract. The outer surface of each particle consists of proteins (orange dots) embedded in a lipid envelope (purple). These surface proteins are used for recognising and binding to the host cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of a flu virus infection. Through computer artwork, we are presented with a conceptual image that depicts influenza virus particles within the respiratory tract. Each round particle is adorned with proteins, represented by orange dots, which are embedded in a lipid envelope colored purple. These surface proteins play a crucial role in recognizing and binding to host cells, enabling the virus to infect its target. The illustration serves as an insightful representation of the biology and medicine behind viral infections, specifically focusing on the concept of flu strains. The image delves into the microscopic realm of pathogens and offers viewers an opportunity to explore virology and microbiology through artistry. It captures our attention by highlighting key elements such as h5n1, h1n1, and h3n2 - different strains associated with influenza viruses. With its vibrant colors and detailed depiction of virions (virus particles), this artwork invites us to contemplate the complex interplay between microorganisms and their hosts. It serves as a reminder of how these tiny agents can have significant impacts on human health while also showcasing the beauty found within scientific imagery. This print is not affiliated with any specific company or intended for commercial use; instead, it represents an invaluable resource for those interested in exploring scientific concepts visually.
