Dengue virus particles,computer model. This virus consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome surrounded by a protein nucleocapsid (cream),which is enclosed in an outer protein envelope (multicoloured). Set in the envelope are the E protein (red and yellow trimers),which has a role in the initial attachment of the virus to a host cell,and the M protein (black),which has a role in the formation of the virus particle. This virus,which is transmitted by mosquitoes,causes the tropical disease dengue fever. Symptoms can range from a mild fever and joint pain to spontaneous bleeding of the skin and circulatory failure,which are often fatal | |
