Rhabdo Virus Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5219
The Rhabdo Virus Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model of a rhabdovirus, the distinctively bullet-shaped virus family that includes the rabies virus. Designed for microbiology and virology laboratories, this rhabdovirus teaching model illustrates the structural features characteristic of this virus group.
Rhabdoviruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses recognized by their distinctive bullet-shaped or rod-shaped morphology. Inside the virus, the RNA genome is tightly associated with nucleoprotein to form a helical nucleocapsid, which is surrounded by a matrix protein layer. The outermost lipid envelope, derived from the host cell membrane, is studded with glycoprotein spikes that project from its surface and mediate attachment to host cell receptors. This structural family includes medically important members such as the rabies virus, making the model particularly relevant to the study of viral neurotropic disease. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents this structure enlarged for classroom study.
