Genetic evolution of flu virus, artwork C017 / 0786
Genetic evolution of influenza (flu) virus. Artwork showing how reassortment of the influenza virus genome led to the evolution of the H7N9 virus in China, which emerged in the human population in March 2013. Reassortment occurs when two or more influenza viruses co-infect a single host and exchange genes. The virus genome is split into 8 segments. Two of the segments (HA and NA) code for the envelope proteins haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the strain of virus. It is thought that multiple reassortment events, in habitats shared by wild and domestic birds, and/or in live bird markets resulted in the H7N9 strain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Genetic evolution of flu virus, artwork C017 / 0786" showcases the intricate process of genetic reassortment that led to the emergence of the H7N9 virus in China. The artwork vividly illustrates how two or more influenza viruses co-infecting a single host can exchange genes, resulting in the evolution of new strains. The image features a white background, emphasizing the complexity and significance of this evolutionary event. It serves as a visual representation of the scientific breakthroughs made in understanding viral genetics and its impact on public health. The H7N9 strain is believed to have originated from multiple reassortment events occurring in habitats shared by wild and domestic birds, as well as live bird markets. This illustration highlights how these interactions played a crucial role in shaping the genetic makeup of this pathogenic virus. With its combination of text and visuals, this artwork provides valuable insights into the field of virology and microbiology. It underscores the importance of studying genetic evolution to better comprehend emerging infectious diseases like avian flu. Created by CDC/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this image exemplifies their commitment to providing high-quality scientific imagery for educational purposes. By capturing such complex concepts through artistry, Science Photo Library contributes to our understanding and appreciation for medical advancements in combating pathogens like influenza A.
