Feline distemper virus particle
Feline distemper virus particle. Molecular model showing the structure of the capsid (outer protein coat) of a feline panleukopenia virus particle. This parovirus causes distemper in cats. Parvoviruses include the smallest known viruses and some of the most environmentally resistant. Each particle consists of a single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genome (not shown) surrounded by an icosahedral protein capsid

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a feline distemper virus particle, specifically the outer protein coat known as the capsid. The molecular model depicted here provides a detailed representation of this parovirus, which is responsible for causing distemper in cats. Parvoviruses are renowned for being both incredibly small and remarkably resilient in various environmental conditions. The image features a black background that accentuates the vibrant colors and complex design of the viral particle. It serves as an artistic illustration that merges biology with medicine, highlighting the significance of understanding these microorganisms to combat diseases effectively. The feline distemper virus particle consists of a single-stranded DNA genome enveloped by an icosahedral protein capsid. This unique structure is composed of alpha helices and beta sheets, forming secondary and tertiary structures essential for its function as a pathogen. Virology enthusiasts will appreciate how this image beautifully captures the surface structure and composition of this microscopic entity. Its icosahedral shape adds to its visual appeal while emphasizing its role as a virion capable of infecting host cells. Overall, this print from Science Photo Library offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into the world of microbiology and veterinary science. It highlights not only the beauty but also the complexity inherent in these tiny organisms that have such significant impacts on our lives.
