MERS coronavirus, TEM C015 / 1774
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 high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the MERS coronavirus, a virus that was first identified in 2012 and has since been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. Similar to the virus responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), this new strain has raised concerns worldwide. In 2002 and 2003, a SARS-like virus claimed the lives of hundreds of individuals. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is closely monitoring this novel virus, with 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths reported as of May 2013. The UK's Health Protection Agency is diligently studying the genetic sequence of this potentially dangerous pathogen. At an impressive magnification level of x105,000 when printed at just ten centimeters high, this colored transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals intricate details about the structure and morphology of the MERS coronavirus. This image offers valuable insights into its biology and virology. With its vibrant colors highlighting various aspects such as virions and viral particles, this print serves as a reminder of our ongoing battle against emerging infectious diseases in the twenty-first century. It underscores both the importance of microbiological research in understanding these threats and our collective responsibility to protect public health. Captured by Centre for Infections/Public Health England/Science Photo Library, this image represents not only scientific excellence but also serves as a visual representation of our commitment to combating potential epidemics worldwide.
