Asian tiger mosquito, SEM
Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Structures on its head (upper centre) include its large compound eyes (red), two feather-like antennae (right), and a long proboscis (lower right). This mosquito acts as a vector for the West Nile virus and the Dengue fever virus, which it transmits when it feeds on blood. Both of these cause diseases that can be fatal. This mosquito originated in Asia, but it has been introduced to tropical and subtropical regions around the world

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an Asian tiger mosquito, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image highlights various structures on its head, including its striking compound eyes in vibrant red, two feather-like antennae on the right side, and a long proboscis extending towards the lower right corner. While this mosquito may appear fascinating at first glance, it plays a significant role as a vector for dangerous diseases such as West Nile virus and Dengue fever. These life-threatening viruses are transmitted to humans when the mosquito feeds on blood. Originating from Asia, this species has spread to tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The photograph serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between nature's beauty and potential harm. It captures both the allure of wildlife photography and the importance of understanding these creatures' impact on human health. By studying their biology and behavior using advanced microscopy techniques like SEM, scientists gain valuable insights into combating disease transmission. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image that merges artistry with scientific inquiry. It invites viewers to marvel at nature's complexity while acknowledging our responsibility in safeguarding public health against these tiny yet formidable insects.
