MEASLES VIRUS (MeV) is a single stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus (Morbillivirus) causing the childhood disease measles with sometimes very severe sequelae subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Measles virus particles occur in a range of sizes with the larger particles housing several genome copies (quite small particles can be complete enough to be infectious). The genome is ordered as a spiral that apparently lies in a somewhat disordered state within the virion, like a skein of rope, although some particles apparently display a more ordered arrangement. Surrounding the genome is a layer of matrix protein (shown in blue) which helps in particle assembly and orders the spikes. Around the matrix layer is the viral envelope acquired during budding from the host cell. The virion is covered with spikes (glycoproteins knobs) consisting of haemagglutinin and fusion proteins.

Scientific artwork for large modern interiors such as a designer home, corporate office, biotech company, science museum, school, research laboratory, university, hospital, clinic, dental surgery or doctor's office. I am an artist based in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. I started working as a science illustrator in 1981. I studied graphic design in the late 70s. Then I worked in traditional hospital based medical illustration. Pen and ink and water colour. Then came a long stint in university based medical video production (including two years at Stanford University in the early 80's). My first award was a CINE Golden Eagle in 1984. Dozens of film and video awards followed. In 1997 I received a Graduate Diploma in Electronic...
