Yellow fever virus particles, TEM C016 / 9468
Yellow fever virus particles. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of yellow fever virus particles (virions, yellow). Yellow fever is endemic in tropical Africa and South America. It is transmitted to humans by infected female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and can cause fever, nausea, headaches and yellowing of the skin due to jaundice. In serious cases there may be liver and kidney damage. There is no treatment for yellow fever and 5% of those infected die. However, vaccination can provide immunity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and deadly world of the Yellow fever virus particles. Taken using a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), this image reveals the yellow-hued virions, or viral particles, responsible for causing this tropical disease. Endemic in regions of Africa and South America, Yellow fever is transmitted to humans through infected female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The consequences of contracting Yellow fever can be severe, with symptoms ranging from fever and nausea to debilitating headaches and jaundice-induced skin yellowing. In more serious cases, liver and kidney damage may occur, leading to potentially fatal outcomes for 5% of those infected. Despite its devastating impact on human health, there is currently no specific treatment available for Yellow fever. However, vaccination offers a vital means of prevention by providing immunity against the virus. Through this visually striking photograph, we gain insight into the microscopic realm where pathogens like the Yellow fever virus thrive. The detailed structure of these virions highlights their biological complexity as part of the Flaviviridae family. This image serves as a reminder that diseases such as Yellow fever continue to pose significant challenges in global public health efforts while emphasizing the importance of scientific research in combating infectious diseases worldwide.
