MERS coronavirus, TEM C015 / 1772
MERS coronavirus, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). 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: x105, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the MERS coronavirus, a virus that emerged in 2012 and has since been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. Believed to be similar to the SARS virus that caused severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002-2003, this new virus has garnered attention from the World Health Organisation (WHO). As of May 2013, there have been 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths attributed to MERS. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals intricate details of the virus at an astonishing magnification of x105,000 when printed at just 10 centimetres across. This microscopic view allows scientists to study its genetic sequence and understand its structure better. The image serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts by researchers at the UK's Health Protection Agency who are diligently studying this potentially dangerous pathogen. With its vibrant colours and biological significance, this print represents a vital tool for microbiologists and virologists working towards preventing potential epidemics. Published by Science Photo Library on behalf of Centre for Infections/Public Health England, this visually striking image not only captures our imagination but also highlights the importance of continuous research in understanding viruses like MERS coronavirus.
