Ebola Virus 3D Model

MACHINE TRANSLATION (not authorised yet)

A large, spatial (3D) model of the Ebola virus magnified about 100,000! Well visible unique shape and structure. The surface of the model shows a lipid membrane with glycoproteins. A section at one end of the model allows to see internal structures, main and smaller matrix proteins, polymerase protein and virus genetic material - RNA.
For the first time described in 1976, the Ebola virus is one of the most deadly viruses on Earth. After infection, patients develop severe haemorrhagic fever, which is 90% fatal. The name of the virus comes from the Ebola River in the northern part of the Congo, where the first cases of the disease caused by this virus were detected.
