Adeno-associated virus, TEM
Adeno-associated virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of particles of an unidentified adeno-associated virus (aV, green). A helper adenovirus (orange) is also seen. Also known as dependoviruses, aVs are defective viruses that are dependent on a co-infecting adenovirus for replication in their hosts cells. aVs can infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts without causing symptoms. However, they have no effect on the pathogenicity (disease-causing ability) of their helper viruses. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of viruses through a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). The image features particles of an unidentified adeno-associated virus (aV) depicted in vibrant green, while a helper adenovirus stands out in striking orange. Known as dependoviruses, aVs are defective viruses that rely on co-infecting adenoviruses for replication within host cells. Despite their defectiveness, these aVs possess the remarkable ability to infect various vertebrate hosts without causing any symptoms. However, it is important to note that they do not influence the disease-causing potential of their helper viruses. This symbiotic relationship between the two types of viruses is beautifully captured in this photograph. The magnification level used to capture this stunning image remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how microscopic organisms can hold immense significance in biology and virology. These tiny virions play crucial roles within our ecosystem and offer valuable insights into infectious diseases. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the hidden world of microbes and their complex interactions. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific marvel, showcasing the beauty and intricacy found at even the smallest scales of life.
