Changuinola virus, TEM
Changuinola virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph of Changuinola virus particles (virions). Each particle consists of a protein coat (capsid, yellow) surrounding double-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA), the virus genetic material. The Changuinola virus is an arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) and is transmitted to humans by the sandfly Lutzomyia sp. Changuinola virus has been linked to a single documented case of an acute self-limited febrile (characterised by fever) illness in Changuinola, Panama

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Changuinola virus, a remarkable arbovirus that has been linked to a singular documented case of an acute self-limited febrile illness in Changuinola, Panama. The image reveals the intricate structure of the virus particles, known as virions, which are composed of a protein coat or capsid surrounding double-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA), the genetic material of the virus. Coloured using false colour techniques, this transmission electron micrograph provides us with a glimpse into the microscopic world of pathogens and their biology. The Changuinola virus is transmitted to humans through sandflies belonging to the Lutzomyia species. As an arthropod-borne virus or arbovirus, it highlights how certain diseases can be spread by vector organisms. The significance of this image lies not only in its scientific value but also in its potential implications for medicine and public health. By studying these viruses at such high resolution, researchers can gain insights into their behavior and develop strategies for prevention and treatment. Science Photo Library continues to contribute immensely to our understanding of infectious diseases by capturing stunning visuals like this one. Their dedication to showcasing biological phenomena through powerful imagery allows us all to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within even the tiniest organisms that impact human health.
