Measles virus particle, TEM C015 / 7164
Measles virus particle, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This virus, from the Morbillivirus group of viruses, consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) core surrounded by a envelope studded with surface proteins, which are used to attach to and penetrate a host cell. Measles is a highly infectious itchy rash with a fever. It mainly affects children, but one attack usually gives life-long immunity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Measles virus particle, captured using a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Belonging to the Morbillivirus group of viruses, this pathogen consists of an RNA core enveloped by a membrane adorned with surface proteins. These proteins play a crucial role in attaching to and penetrating host cells. Measles is an extremely contagious disease characterized by an itchy rash accompanied by fever. While it primarily affects children, experiencing one bout typically confers lifelong immunity. The image highlights the intricate structure of this viral agent responsible for causing such widespread infection. The vibrant colours used in this TEM image bring attention to the microscopic world that exists within our bodies. It serves as a reminder of the complexity and diversity present even at the tiniest scale. This visual representation aids researchers and medical professionals in understanding how measles operates on a cellular level. By studying these minute organisms through advanced microscopy techniques like TEM, scientists can gain invaluable insights into their behavior and develop effective strategies for prevention and treatment. This photograph not only captures the beauty inherent in biology but also emphasizes its significance in medicine and public health. Courtesy of CENTRE FOR INFECTIONS/PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this remarkable image contributes to our collective knowledge about infectious diseases while inspiring awe for the intricacies of life itself.
