MERS coronavirus, TEM C015 / 1776
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 emerged in 2012 and has been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. The virus is believed to be similar to the ones responsible for causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which claimed hundreds of lives between 2002 and 2003. As of May 2013, there have been 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths attributed to this new virus. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is closely monitoring the spread of this virus, while the UK's Health Protection Agency conducts genetic sequencing studies on its structure. This coloured transmission electron micrograph provides a detailed view of the MERS coronavirus at an impressive magnification of x105,000 when printed at just 10 centimetres high. With its vibrant colours and intricate details, this image serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against emerging infectious diseases in our modern world. It highlights the importance of epidemiology, virology, and microbiology in understanding these novel viruses and developing effective strategies for prevention and treatment. As we navigate through the challenges posed by potential epidemics like MERS, it is crucial to stay informed about such threats to global health. This photograph not only captures the beauty within biological structures but also serves as a visual representation of scientific progress in combating infectious diseases.
