Norwalk virus infection
Norwalk virus infection. Computer artwork of a norwalk virus and a human gut. The stomach is at top, the large intestine goes around the outside of the virus, which is covering most of the small intestine. The norwalk virus is a small virus consisting of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) core surrounded by a protein capsid (multicoloured). Infection with the virus is very common and causes vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pains. It is transmitted via contaminated food and water

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate relationship between the Norwalk virus and the human gut. In this computer artwork, we witness a visual representation of the virus's impact on our digestive system. The stomach takes center stage at the top, while the large intestine gracefully wraps around the outside of the virus, which dominates most of the small intestine. The Norwalk virus is a minuscule yet potent pathogen composed of an RNA core enveloped by a vibrant protein capsid. Its prevalence is widespread, often leading to distressing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pains. This infection primarily spreads through contaminated food and water sources. Through this artful illustration, we gain insight into both biology and medicine as it pertains to viruses. It sheds light on various aspects including gastroenteritis, virology, proteins, particles (virions), and RNA viruses like Norwalk or norovirus - commonly known as "winter vomiting bug". Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this microscopic world within our bodies with their attention to detail in depicting each element involved in this complex interaction. As viewers engage with this image print, they are invited to explore not only its scientific significance but also appreciate its artistic value that seamlessly merges science and creativity together.
