H1N1 flu virus particles, artwork
H1N1 flu virus particles. Computer artwork of H1N1 influenza (flu) A virus particles (virions). In each particles lipid envelope are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H, tri-lobed spikes) and neuraminidase (N, squares), which determine the strain of virus. These are used for recognising and binding to the host cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate and deadly nature of the H1N1 flu virus particles. In this computer-generated illustration, we are given a closer look at the virions responsible for causing influenza A. The lipid envelope surrounding each particle contains two distinct types of protein spikes: haemagglutinin (H) with its tri-lobed structure, and neuraminidase (N) in square formations. These spikes play a crucial role in recognizing and binding to host cells, ultimately determining the strain of the virus. The vibrant green hue adds an eerie touch to this image, symbolizing both danger and infectiousness. This depiction serves as a reminder of how such microscopic entities can have global implications, leading to epidemics or even pandemics that affect populations worldwide. With its detailed portrayal of these pathogenic agents, this artwork emphasizes their potential for devastation within our respiratory systems. It highlights the importance of understanding virology and epidemiology in combating such diseases effectively. Through its fusion of artistry and scientific accuracy, this print from Science Photo Library offers viewers a glimpse into the hidden world of viruses while serving as a poignant reminder that vigilance against infectious diseases remains paramount in our modern society.
