MERS coronavirus, TEM C015 / 7158
MERS coronavirus. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of MERS coronavirus particles (small dots) budding from a host cell (centre). 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: x2, 500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the MERS coronavirus, a novel virus that emerged in 2012 and has since been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. In this transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we can observe the tiny MERS coronavirus particles, resembling small dots, budding from a host cell at the center of the image. Similar to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus that caused widespread devastation in 2002-2003, this new virus has garnered attention from global health organizations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO). As of May 2013, there have been 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths attributed to MERS. The genetic sequence of this virus is currently being studied by the UK's Health Protection Agency to better understand its structure and behavior. With a magnification of x2,500 when printed at just 10 centimeters wide, this image provides an intricate view into the world of microbiology and virology. As researchers continue their efforts to combat potential epidemics like MERS, images like these serve as valuable tools for studying viral replication and understanding how these viruses interact with host cells. This monochrome photograph not only captures scientific curiosity but also highlights our ongoing battle against emerging infectious diseases in the ever-evolving landscape of public health.
