Teach your class about the monkeypox virus with our 3D model.
Monkeypox virus causes fever and a rash then pus filled skin lesions and can sometimes be fatal. It arose in Africa but outbreaks occur around the world.
Monkeypox virus has a double-stranded DNA genome that is protected by a nucleocapsid in a core. The virus uses proteins on its surface to bind to receptors on its target cells. Monkeypox is a large virus that contains genes for all of the enzymes needed for its replication.
Buy once, print forever!
First, your students make their model of the monkeypox virus out of the colourful parts. Then they use their 3D model to look at the main features of its structure. These include the nucleocapsid, DNA genome,, core, lateral bodies, outer membrane and inner membrane.
Includes colourful class Powerpoint!
