Avian influenza virus, TEM C016 / 2351
Avian influenza virus, type A strain H7N9, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This virus first emerged in the human population in China, in March 2013. The virus consists of ribonucleic acid (RNA), surrounded by a nucleocapsid and a lipid envelope (green). In the envelope are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the strain of virus. The natural hosts of this virus are wild birds. Unusually, infected domestic chickens do not show symptoms, which increases the potential for spread to humans that have contact with chickens. Nearly a third of human infections are proving to be fatal. As of May 2013 no human to human transmission has been recorded

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Avian influenza virus, type A strain H7N9, as captured through a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Originating in China in March 2013, this virus has become a significant concern for public health. The image reveals the intricate structure of the virus consisting of ribonucleic acid (RNA) enveloped by a lipid envelope depicted in green. Within this envelope are two distinct protein spikes known as haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the specific strain of the virus. While wild birds serve as natural hosts for this pathogen, it is alarming that infected domestic chickens do not exhibit any symptoms. This characteristic increases the risk of transmission to humans who come into contact with these seemingly healthy poultry. Tragically, nearly one-third of human infections have proven fatal thus far. What makes this particular strain even more concerning is its potential to spread rapidly among humans. As of May 2013, no instances of human-to-human transmission had been recorded; however, experts remain vigilant due to its high pathogenicity. The detailed TEM image provides valuable insights into the biology and pathology of this avian flu variant. Its segmented genome and polymorphic nature make it an intriguing subject for virologists and microbiologists alike. By studying such images, scientists hope to develop effective strategies for combating future outbreaks and safeguarding public health worldwide.
