Legend: Principios de virología
FRONT COVER: Many virus images. Sizes are not to relative scale.
The larger image is that of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), shown as radially depth cued. In reality this virus is not larger than the other viruses represented here. The red surface represents the location of the highly antigenic loop (residues 134 - 157 on protein VP1) which was disordered in previous crystallographic attempts.
FMDV, PDB-ID: 1FOD:

BACK COVER: 2 stereo pairs, top pair depicts FMDV (virus de la fiebre aftosa*), bottom pair depicts poliovirus structure. Both viruses have a similar diameter of about 30 nm.
