Coloured TEM of clusters of polio viruses (type 1)
Polio viruses (type 1). Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of clusters of polio viruses, the cause of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis). There are three serotypes of the polio virus, and this is type 1 which causes most epidemics. Although rounded in shape (red) each virus has a cubic symmetry. They are picorna- viruses. RNA genetic material occurs in the core of each virus, surrounded by a protein coat (yellow). Infection occurs through the mouth. Usually only a mild illness results; but in more serious cases the virus may attack the nervous system causing paralysis or even death. Polio vaccines are available. Magnification: unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases clusters of polio viruses, specifically type 1, which is responsible for the majority of poliomyelitis outbreaks. The image, captured using a coloured transmission electron microscope (TEM), reveals the distinct cubic symmetry possessed by each virus despite their rounded shape. These picorna-viruses contain RNA genetic material at their core, encased within a vibrant yellow protein coat. Infection occurs primarily through the mouth, and while most cases result in mild illness, some individuals experience more severe symptoms as the virus attacks their nervous system. Paralysis or even death can occur in these serious cases. Fortunately, effective polio vaccines have been developed to combat this debilitating disease. The magnification level used to capture this image remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how advanced scientific technology allows us to delve into the microscopic world that surrounds us. This photograph not only highlights the intricate structure of these harmful viruses but also emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and vaccination efforts aimed at eradicating polio worldwide. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable visual representation without any commercial intentions or affiliations with specific companies. Instead, it aims to provide valuable scientific knowledge and promote awareness about significant health issues such as poliomyelitis caused by type 1 polio viruses.
