Coloured TEM of mumps virus, Rabula inflans
Mumps virus. Coloured Transmission Electron Micro- graph (TEM) of a single mumps virus Rabula inflans in cross-section. The image has been computer digitized. The outer coat of the virus is seen; the pink core contains RNA genetic material. The mumps virus is a member of the paramyxoviridae virus family. It causes the acute viral illness of mumps, mainly in children. Symptoms include fever, headache and vomiting, preceding swelling of the parotid salivary glands in the neck (parotitis). A complication of mumps is meningitis. It adult males, mumps may cause swelling of the testes, but it seldom leads to infertility. There are mumps vaccines. Magnification: x100, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of the mumps virus, specifically Rabula inflans. The image has been meticulously computer digitized to reveal intricate details of this viral specimen. The outer coat of the virus is prominently displayed, while the core exhibits a striking pink hue due to its RNA genetic material. Belonging to the paramyxoviridae virus family, the mumps virus is notorious for causing acute viral illness primarily in children. Common symptoms include fever, headache, and vomiting followed by swelling of the parotid salivary glands in the neck known as parotitis. Meningitis can be a severe complication resulting from mumps infection. Although adult males may experience testes swelling due to mumps, infertility rarely occurs as a consequence. Fortunately, there are vaccines available that offer protection against this contagious disease. With an impressive magnification level of x100,000 at 6x4.5cm size, this photograph provides an up-close view into the world of viruses and their impact on human health. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary scientific image that both educates and fascinates viewers with its remarkable detail and vibrant colours.
