The cover illustrates the arrangements of the portal (cyan) and the capsomers (hexons in orange and pentons in yellow) of the quasi-icosahedral capsid of Epstein-Barr virus enclosed within a lipid bilayer envelope (grey). The viral dsDNA (red) is translocated through the portal, a “devil’s claw”-like apparatus located at a unique 5-fold vertex of the capsid. See Page 873-884 by Zhihai Li et al. for details.
