H1N1 swine flu virus, TEM C018 / 8602
H1N1 swine flu virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of swine influenza (flu) virus particles (virions, yellow). Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses. This H1N1 strain also contains genetic material from bird and human influenza viruses and is able to spread from human to human. These characteristics give the virus potential to cause a pandemic. Symptoms are similar to those of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. It can be fatal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the H1N1 swine flu virus, a highly dangerous and infectious pathogen that has caused worldwide concern. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals the intricate structure of the swine influenza virus particles, depicted in vibrant yellow against a striking blue background. Swine flu is primarily a respiratory disease affecting pigs and is caused by type A influenza viruses. However, this particular strain of H1N1 contains genetic material from both bird and human influenza viruses, enabling it to spread rapidly among humans. This alarming characteristic gives the virus the potential to trigger a global pandemic. Symptoms associated with this deadly variant are similar to those of regular human flu, including fever, coughing, sore throat, body aches, headaches, chills, and fatigue. Unfortunately, in severe cases or when left untreated, swine flu can be fatal. The image was captured using advanced microscopy techniques known as TEMs which allow scientists to study pathogens at an incredibly detailed level. Through such research methods in virology and microbiology fields like these ones employed by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)/NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY), we gain valuable insights into how diseases spread and evolve. This visually stunning photograph serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against infectious diseases like swine flu while highlighting the critical importance of continued medical advancements in combating such threats to public health worldwide.
