Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) - 3D medical animation

Let’s talk about Herpes simplex The most widespread are Herpes simplex viruses (HSV). They are categorized into two types. HSV-1 stands for orofacial herpes, and HSV-2 is for genital herpes, but sometimes HSV-1 is associated with genital diseases too. That’s why herpes simplex 1 also called “cold sore“ and a public name of herpes simplex 2 is “herpes“. According to the World Health Organization, 67% of the world population under the age of 50 are infected with herpes simplex 1. Structure of the virus To create a 3D prototype of the virus, we researched its structure. They have an unusual 4 layered structure: a core that contains the large, double-stranded DNA genome, which is enclosed by an icosapentahedral capsid. The capsid is composed of capsomers and is surrounded by the tegument, which is an amorphous protein coat encased in a glycoprotein-bearing lipid bilayer envelope.
