Dengue virus particles, molecular model
Dengue virus particles, computer model. This virus consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome surrounded by a protein nucleocapsid (cream), which is enclosed in an outer protein envelope (multicoloured). Set in the envelope are the E protein (red and yellow trimers), which has a role in the initial attachment of the virus to a host cell, and the M protein (black), which has a role in the formation of the virus particle. This virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, causes the tropical disease dengue fever. Symptoms can range from a mild fever and joint pain to spontaneous bleeding of the skin and circulatory failure, which are often fatal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Dengue virus particles, offering a glimpse into the world of virology and biology. The computer-generated model depicts the composition of this pathogenic virus, consisting of an RNA genome enveloped by a protein nucleocapsid and an outer protein envelope adorned with vibrant colors. Highlighted within the envelope are the E proteins, represented by red and yellow trimers. These proteins play a crucial role in initiating the attachment of the virus to host cells. Additionally, we can observe the M protein depicted in black, which contributes to the formation of these viral particles. Dengue fever is caused by this mosquito-borne flavivirus, resulting in various symptoms ranging from mild fever and joint pain to severe complications like spontaneous bleeding and circulatory failure. The tropical nature of this disease adds another layer of significance to understanding its complex structure. Through scientific artistry and meticulous illustration techniques, Science Photo Library brings forth this stunning visual representation that bridges medicine with biology. This print serves as both an educational tool for researchers studying pathogens at a microscopic level and as a testament to human curiosity about our biological world.
