Rabies virus particle, artwork C016 / 9158
Rabies virus particle, computer artwork. This bullet-shaped particle consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome enclosed in protein capsid, which is itself surrounded by a lipoprotein envelope containing glycoprotein spikes (red). Rabies virus primarily infects animals but can be transmitted to humans through a break in the skin. It spreads slowly through the peripheral nervous system to the brain, where it causes inflammation resulting in fever and delirium. Infection in humans can be fatal, though modern vaccines are effective if taken within the incubation period of the virus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the rabies virus particle, as depicted in a stunning computer artwork. The bullet-shaped particle is composed of an RNA genome enclosed in a protein capsid, which is further enveloped by a lipoprotein envelope adorned with striking glycoprotein spikes. While primarily infecting animals, this deadly virus can be transmitted to humans through breaks in the skin. Once inside the human body, it spreads slowly through the peripheral nervous system until it reaches the brain. There, it triggers inflammation that leads to fever and delirium. Infection with rabies can prove fatal for humans; however, timely administration of modern vaccines during the incubation period can effectively combat its devastating effects. The white background enhances our focus on this microscopic marvel while emphasizing its significance within biology and medicine. This illustration serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying pathogens and virology alike. Its detailed portrayal offers insights into key features such as glycoproteins and viral envelopes associated with lyssaviruses like rabies. Captured by Russell Kightley from Science Photo Library, this image exemplifies their commitment to providing exceptional visuals related to microbiology and medical research. It's important to note that this caption does not endorse any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company but rather highlights the scientific value inherent in understanding microorganisms like viruses at such a detailed level.
