Hepatitis A viruses, TEM
Hepatitis A viruses. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of hepatitis A viruses, a cause of liver inflammation. Hepatitis A is transmitted through infected food or drink. Symptoms include influenza-like symptoms of fever and sickness, along with jaundice. There is no treatment, but bed rest and a healthy diet are beneficial to recovery. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Hepatitis A viruses, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). These tiny pathogens are responsible for causing liver inflammation, making them a significant concern in the field of virology. The coloured TEM image beautifully highlights the intricate details and structure of these infectious agents. Hepatitis A is primarily transmitted through contaminated food or drink, emphasizing the importance of proper hygiene and sanitation practices. Infected individuals may experience flu-like symptoms such as fever and sickness, accompanied by jaundice - a yellowing of the skin and eyes due to liver dysfunction. Unfortunately, there is currently no specific treatment available for Hepatitis A; however, rest and maintaining a healthy diet can aid in recovery. The magnification level used to capture this image remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how advanced technology enables us to explore microscopic worlds that would otherwise remain hidden from our naked eyes. This photograph not only provides valuable insights into the biology and pathogenicity of Hepatitis A viruses but also serves as an important educational tool for researchers, healthcare professionals, and students studying microbiology. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that bridges science with artistry. It reminds us of both the beauty and complexity found within our natural world while highlighting crucial aspects related to public health concerns like viral infections such as hepatitis A.
