Global flu pandemic. Computer artwork of a globe within an influenza (flu) A virus particle, representing a global flu pandemic. In the virus lipid envelope are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the strain of virus. These are used for recognising and binding to the host cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Global Flu Pandemic" depicts the alarming reality of a worldwide influenza outbreak. Against a black background, a computer-generated image showcases a globe enveloped by an influenza A virus particle. The virus's lipid envelope features two distinct protein spikes known as haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which play a crucial role in determining the strain of the virus and its ability to bind with host cells. The intricate illustration serves as a reminder of the dangerous nature of flu viruses, particularly their potential to cause widespread devastation. With references to porcine, avian, and swine influenza strains, it highlights how these pathogens can jump from animals to humans, leading to zoonotic outbreaks that pose significant health crises. Through this thought-provoking piece of art, viewers are encouraged to contemplate the complex biology behind viral infections while acknowledging the critical role played by epidemiology and virology in understanding and combating such global epidemics. It serves as a visual representation of our vulnerability in facing infectious diseases within our interconnected world. Created by Science Photo Library, this print captures both the scientific intricacies and conceptual significance surrounding pandemics like H1N1 or H5N1. It is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an educational tool that sheds light on one of humanity's ongoing battles against deadly pathogens.
