Polio virus particles, TEM C016 / 9436
Poliovirus particles. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of poliovirus particles (round). Poliovirus infects children causing the disease poliomyelitis, or infantile paralysis. Although it normally only causes a mild illness, in some cases it infects the central nervous system (CNS) and can cause severe damage, leading to paralysis or death. Vaccination, which started in the 1950s, has been successful in controlling the disease. It has now been eliminated from Europe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of polio virus particles, as captured by a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The round-shaped particles, colored in vibrant hues, represent the notorious poliovirus that has plagued children for centuries. Poliovirus is responsible for causing the debilitating disease known as poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis. While typically resulting in only mild symptoms, this cunning virus can infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS), leading to severe damage and even death. However, thanks to the remarkable success of vaccination efforts initiated in the 1950s, this once-dreaded disease has been effectively controlled and eliminated from Europe. The image serves as a powerful reminder of both the destructive potential of pathogens and our ability to combat them through scientific advancements. It symbolizes triumph over adversity and highlights how medical breakthroughs have saved countless lives. Within its mesmerizing details lie years of research conducted by virologists and microbiologists dedicated to understanding these microorganisms at their core. The intricate capsid structure surrounding RNA strands represents a testament to nature's complexity on an infinitesimally small scale. As we admire this extraordinary photograph, let us remember that it embodies not just scientific achievement but also hope – hope for a world where diseases like polio are nothing more than distant memories.
