Sleeping sickness parasite, SEM
Sleeping sickness parasite. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Trypanosoma brucei parasite (blue) and a white blood cell (green) in a mouse liver. T. brucei is a protozoan and the causative agent of African sleeping sickness. It is transmitted to humans via the bite of the tsetse fly. Initial infection causes fever, joint pain and itching. Once the parasite has crossed into the central nervous system it causes confusion, disturbance of the sleep cycle and reduced coordination. Without treatment African sleeping sickness is fatal. Magnification: x2500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the microscopic world of a sleeping sickness parasite, Trypanosoma brucei. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness the intricate interaction between the blue protozoan parasite and a green white blood cell within a mouse liver. T. brucei is responsible for causing African sleeping sickness, a devastating disease transmitted to humans through the bite of tsetse flies. The initial infection manifests as fever, joint pain, and itching. However, once the parasite infiltrates the central nervous system, it wreaks havoc on our sleep cycle, coordination, and cognitive abilities. Without proper treatment, African sleeping sickness proves fatal. This image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that exists in nature's smallest organisms. With its magnification at x2500 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM print allows us to appreciate the complexity of these tiny creatures that have such profound effects on human health. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Science Photo Library's collection on parasitology and medical science research, let us reflect on our innate immune system's ongoing battle against pathogens like T. brucei while acknowledging how crucial scientific advancements are in combating diseases that threaten wildlife and humanity alike.
