Canine parvovirus particle C013 / 9966
Canine parvovirus particle. Computer artwork showing the structure of the outer protein coat (capsid) of a canine parvovirus type 2 particle (virion). The single stranded DNA genome inside the capsid is not visible. Canine Parvovirus Type 2 (CPV2) was first recognized in 1978 and spread worldwide in less than two years. There are two forms of the disease; the more common intestinal form and the rarer cardiac form. The intestinal form causes vomiting and severe diarrhoea, often leading to death due to dehydration. The cardiac form attacks the heart tissue leading to cardiovascular failure. A vaccine is available to protect against the virus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a canine parvovirus particle, specifically the outer protein coat known as the capsid. Created through computer artwork, this illustration provides a detailed view of the virion's surface structure while omitting the single stranded DNA genome contained within. Canine Parvovirus Type 2 (CPV2), which emerged in 1978 and rapidly spread worldwide, is responsible for two distinct forms of disease: intestinal and cardiac. The more prevalent intestinal form manifests with symptoms such as severe diarrhea and vomiting, often leading to dehydration and even death. On the other hand, the rarer cardiac form targets heart tissue, resulting in cardiovascular failure. However, there is hope in combating this devastating virus through vaccination. Displayed against a white background, this image combines elements from zoology, biology, medicine, veterinary science, and virology to offer valuable insights into canine parvovirus research. With its red hues representing pathogenicity and microbe-like appearance resembling molecular models or microbiological structures; it serves as an informative tool for understanding CPV2 at both molecular and macroscopic levels. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY exclusively for non-commercial use purposes only; this print highlights not just scientific beauty but also emphasizes the importance of ongoing research efforts aimed at combatting diseases that affect our beloved canines.
