Schmallenberg virus particles, TEM

Schmallenberg virus. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of virus particles (virions, yellow) of the Schmallenberg virus. This is an informal name for a viral disease of livestock that was first reported in Europe in late 2011. Is part of the orthobunyavirus grouping, and causes fever and stillbirth in cattle, sheep and goats. It is spread by biting insects such as midges and mosquitoes. By 2012, it had spread to the UK. As of February 2013, it had spread to over 1500 farms across England and Wales

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Schmallenberg virus particles, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The yellow-colored virions are representative of this viral disease that primarily affects livestock. Initially reported in Europe towards the end of 2011, the Schmallenberg virus belongs to the orthobunyavirus grouping and is responsible for causing fever and stillbirth in cattle, sheep, and goats. The spread of this devastating virus occurs through biting insects like midges and mosquitoes. By 2012, it had already made its way to the United Kingdom. As of February 2013, over 1500 farms across England and Wales were affected by this contagious disease. This image not only highlights the biological aspect of viruses but also sheds light on their impact on agriculture and animal husbandry. It serves as a reminder that even in the 21st century, new diseases can emerge with significant consequences for both humans and animals alike. Science Photo Library has provided us with an invaluable visual representation of these microscopic entities that have caused widespread concern within farming communities. This photograph offers insights into microbiology, virology, and animal diseases while emphasizing the importance of understanding such pathogens to protect our livestock from future outbreaks.
