Vesicular stomatitis virus, TEM
Vesicular stomatitis virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) particles (blue) budding from a host cell (red). Viruses replicate using the host cells genetic machinery. These virus particles have formed in a cultured cell. VSV is a disease that infects sheep, horses and goats, and is similar to foot and mouth disease

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in all its intricate glory. Taken using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the image reveals VSV particles, colored in mesmerizing shades of blue, as they bud from a host cell depicted in vibrant red. The significance of this image lies in its portrayal of how viruses like VSV replicate themselves by exploiting the genetic machinery within their host cells. The cultured cell seen here serves as an ideal environment for these viral particles to form and multiply. Vesicular stomatitis virus is a disease that primarily affects sheep, horses, and goats, sharing similarities with foot and mouth disease. Its ability to infect livestock makes it crucial to study and understand its biology for effective prevention and control measures. Through this visually striking photograph, we gain insight into the world of microbiology and pathogenic infections. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, life thrives with complex interactions between organisms. Captured by Science Photo Library's talented photographers specializing in scientific imagery, this false-colored TEM print offers both aesthetic appeal and invaluable scientific information. As we delve deeper into the intricacies of our biological world through such visual representations, we enhance our understanding of diseases like VSV while appreciating the beauty hidden within them.
