Little Red Rubella Virus

Interesting fact: Rubella is derived from Latin meaning “little red” (or at least according to Wikipedia). I thought it would be suitable to have the Little Red Riding Hood version of the Rubella virus being gobbled up by the Big Bad Macrophage. I made Rubella’s env...elope red to symbolize the “cape”. Also, Rubella virus causes the German measles which results in a red rash. WOW! I have a lot of red going on! I doubt there is a “chomping” noise during phagocytosis — but I wish there was! Anyway, enjoy until next week!
