MERS coronavirus, TEM C015 / 1773
MERS coronavirus, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This virus (originally novel coronavirus 2012) has been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. It is thought to be similar to the ones that cause SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). A SARS-like virus killed hundreds in 2002 and 2003. This new virus, which first emerged in 2012, is being tracked by the World Health Organisation (WHO), with 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths as of May 2013. The genetic sequence of the virus is being studied by the UKs Health Protection Agency. Magnification: x105, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the MERS coronavirus, a virus that emerged in 2012 and has been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. Similar to the virus responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), this novel coronavirus is being closely monitored by the World Health Organisation (WHO). As of May 2013, there have been 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths attributed to this virus. The image itself, taken using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), reveals the intricate details of the MERS coronavirus at a magnification of x105,000. The vibrant colors used in this colored TEM add an artistic touch to an otherwise scientific subject matter. Scientists from the UK's Health Protection Agency are currently studying the genetic sequence of this virus, aiming to gain a better understanding of its structure and behavior. This research will contribute valuable insights into potential treatments or preventive measures against future outbreaks. With its biological significance and relevance to public health, this print serves as a reminder of our ongoing battle against emerging infectious diseases in the 21st century. It highlights both the beauty and complexity found within microscopic organisms that can pose significant threats to global health. This image is part of Science Photo Library's collection curated by Centre for Infections/Public Health England. Its inclusion in their library signifies its importance as a visual representation for researchers, educators, and healthcare professionals working in microbiology, virology, epidemiology, and other related fields.
