Marburg virus, artwork C013 / 4633
Marburg virus. Computer artwork of Marburg virus particles (virions). This tubular RNA (ribonucleic acid, coloured spheres) virus causes Marburg haemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. Symptoms of the rare and often fatal disease include fever, muscle pain, rash, diarrhoea and haemorrhage. The virus was first documented in 1967 when there were simultaneous outbreaks of haemorrhagic fever in laboratories in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade in Yugoslavia. The outbreak was traced to vervet monkey tissue used in research

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Marburg virus, a deadly pathogen that causes Marburg haemorrhagic fever in both humans and non-human primates. The artwork beautifully depicts the tubular RNA virus particles, represented by colored spheres, which are responsible for triggering this rare and often fatal disease. Marburg haemorrhagic fever manifests through various symptoms including high fever, muscle pain, rash, diarrhea, and internal bleeding. Its origins can be traced back to 1967 when simultaneous outbreaks occurred in laboratories located in Marburg and Frankfurt (Germany) as well as Belgrade (Yugoslavia). These outbreaks were eventually linked to vervet monkey tissue used for research purposes. The image highlights the severe nature of this illness with its intricate depiction of the enveloped virions. It serves as a reminder of the significant impact that viruses have on human health and emphasizes the importance of understanding their biology for effective medical interventions. Through its portrayal of this microscopic menace, this artwork provides valuable insights into virology and microbiology. It sheds light on how microorganisms such as filoviruses can pose zoonotic threats to both animals and humans alike. This print is an invaluable resource for researchers studying infectious diseases or anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world of pathogens. Its visual representation captures both the beauty and danger inherent within these tiny biological entities while serving as a stark reminder of our ongoing battle against viral infections.
