Coronavirus, artwork F007 / 0220
Human coronavirus. Computer artwork of a Human coronavirus particle. Coronaviruses primarily infect the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tract and can cause the common cold, gastrointestinal infections and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Coronaviruses are named after the corona (crown) of surface proteins (outer dots) that are used to penetrate a host cell. Once inside the cell, the virus particles (virions) use the cells machinery to make more copies of themselves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Coronavirus, artwork F007 / 0220" showcases the intricate details of a Human coronavirus particle. Against a striking black background, this computer-generated artwork highlights the menacing nature of these viruses that have caused widespread havoc in recent times. Coronaviruses are notorious for primarily infecting the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, leading to various ailments such as the common cold, gastrointestinal infections, and even severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Named after their crown-like surface proteins resembling a corona, these outer dots enable them to penetrate host cells effectively. Once inside a cell, these viral particles or virions cunningly hijack the cellular machinery to replicate themselves rapidly. This close-up view emphasizes their pathogenic capabilities and sheds light on their ability to exploit our own biological systems for survival. With its focus on detail and precision, this medical illustration serves as a reminder of the constant battle between humans and microorganisms. It symbolizes both the threat posed by pathogens like coronaviruses and our relentless pursuit in understanding them through microbiology and virology research. As we navigate through unprecedented times with COVID-19 gripping the world tightly, this artwork stands as an emblematic representation of our ongoing fight against infectious diseases. It underscores the crucial role played by healthcare professionals in combating such microorganisms while inspiring hope for future breakthroughs in medicine.
