Tinted TEM of coxsackievirus particles
False-colour transmission electron micrograph of coxsackieviruses, named after the town in the USA where they were isolated. They belong to the genus of Enteroviruses. This genus is part of the Picornaviridae group, which contains the small (22 nanometers), non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses. Coxsackieviruses, of which there are many types, cause diseases such as aseptic meningitis; herpangina, an acute pharyngitis; hand, foot & mouth disease (not foot & mouth); epidemic myalgia or Bornholm disease; and myocarditis of newborn babies. They are also among the miscellaneous viruses that cause colds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph of coxsackievirus particles. These tiny viruses, named after the town in the USA where they were first discovered, belong to the genus of Enteroviruses. Part of the Picornaviridae group, these non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses measure a mere 22 nanometers in size. Coxsackieviruses come in various types and are notorious for causing several diseases that affect humans. Some of these ailments include aseptic meningitis, which is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord; herpangina, characterized by acute pharyngitis or sore throat; hand, foot & mouth disease (not to be confused with foot & mouth disease); epidemic myalgia or Bornholm disease; as well as myocarditis in newborn babies. These resilient viruses are also among the miscellaneous culprits responsible for common colds that afflict us from time to time. Despite their minuscule size and lack of an envelope surrounding them, coxsackievirus particles possess immense potential to wreak havoc on our health. This remarkable image not only offers a glimpse into the intricate world of virology but also serves as a reminder of how microscopic entities can have significant impacts on human well-being.
