MERS coronavirus, TEM C015 / 7157
MERS coronavirus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of MERS coronavirus particles (small green dots) budding from a host cell (brown). This virus (originally novel coronavirus 2012) has been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. It is thought to be similar to the ones that cause SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). A SARS-like virus killed hundreds in 2002 and 2003. This new virus, which first emerged in 2012, is being tracked by the World Health Organisation (WHO), with 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths as of May 2013. The genetic sequence of the virus is being studied by the UKs Health Protection Agency. Magnification: x2, 500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the MERS coronavirus, a virus that emerged in 2012 and is known as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. The image, taken using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), reveals the intricate details of the virus particles. The small green dots represent the MERS coronavirus particles, which are seen budding from a host cell depicted in brown. Similar to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus that caused widespread devastation in 2002 and 2003, this new virus has caught the attention of global health organizations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO). As of May 2013, there have been 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths attributed to MERS coronavirus. The UK's Health Protection Agency is diligently studying the genetic sequence of this novel virus to better understand its characteristics and potential for replication. With magnification at x2,500 when printed at a width of ten centimeters, this image offers an up-close look into the world of microbiology and virology. As we navigate through the challenges posed by emerging infectious diseases in our modern era, images like these serve as reminders of both our vulnerabilities and our commitment to scientific research aimed at safeguarding public health. This photograph represents not only a visual marvel but also serves as a testament to ongoing efforts worldwide to combat potential epidemics with vigilance and knowledge.
