Biology

Influenza virus

Rounded to slightly pleomorphic enveloped influenza virion with a soft, somewhat irregular lipid membrane outline and a less crown-like appearance than a coronavirus. The surface is densely studded with many short glycoprotein spike proteins, with some views showing two visible spike types including shorter and slightly longer or club-shaped projections distributed around the envelope. The envelope is pale gray, light blue, blue-gray, blue-green, pink, purple, or tan with a softly textured or mottled appearance. Inside, depict several dark curved, coiled, or ribbon-like segmented ribonucleoprotein/RNA strands with polymerase proteins implied, enclosed within a darker mottled interior. Scientific textbook or clipart-style rendering.
