Monkeypox virus particle, TEM C016 / 7383
Monkeypox virus (MPV) particle, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Each particle is composed of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genome surrounded by a protein coat and lipid envelope. This virus, which is found near rainforests in Central and West Africa causes disease in humans and monkeys, although its natural hosts are rodents. It is capable of human to human transmission. In humans it causes fever, swollen glands and a rash of fluid-filled blisters. It is fatal in 10 per cent of cases. Magnification: x117, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Monkeypox virus particle, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the microscopic world of biology. Under the lens of a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this coloured image reveals the intricate structure of the virus. Each particle is composed of a DNA genome surrounded by a protein coat and lipid envelope. Originating from rainforests in Central and West Africa, Monkeypox virus primarily affects humans and monkeys, although its natural hosts are rodents. This zoonotic pathogen has gained attention due to its ability for human-to-human transmission. Infection with this virus leads to symptoms such as fever, swollen glands, and a rash characterized by fluid-filled blisters. With a magnification level of x117,000 when printed at 10 centimetres tall, this photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty within even the tiniest organisms that can have significant impacts on our health. The Monkeypox virus belongs to Group 1 viruses within the Orthopoxvirus family and is classified as an emergent disease. As we delve deeper into microbiology and virology research, images like these serve as powerful reminders of both the wonders and dangers present in our environment. By studying these microorganisms closely, scientists can better understand their behavior and develop strategies to combat infectious diseases caused by them.
