MERS coronavirus, TEM C015 / 7156
MERS coronavirus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of MERS coronavirus particles (small orange dots) budding from a host cell (red). This virus (originally novel coronavirus 2012) has been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. It is thought to be similar to the ones that cause SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). A SARS-like virus killed hundreds in 2002 and 2003. This new virus, which first emerged in 2012, is being tracked by the World Health Organisation (WHO), with 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths as of May 2013. The genetic sequence of the virus is being studied by the UKs Health Protection Agency. Magnification: x2, 500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the MERS coronavirus, a virus that emerged in 2012 and has since been named Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus. In this colored transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we can observe small orange dots representing the MERS coronavirus particles budding from a host cell, depicted in red. Similar to the viruses responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), this novel coronavirus is causing concern worldwide. The SARS-like virus had previously claimed hundreds of lives between 2002 and 2003. As of May 2013, there have been 54 confirmed cases and 27 deaths attributed to the MERS coronavirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) is closely monitoring this new virus as it poses a potential epidemic threat. The UK's Health Protection Agency is actively studying its genetic sequence to better understand its characteristics and develop effective countermeasures. With a magnification of x2,500 when printed at just ten centimeters wide, this image provides us with an up-close look into the world of microbiology and virology. It serves as a reminder of how crucial scientific research is in combating emerging infectious diseases like coronaviruses. This remarkable photograph was captured by the Centre for Infections/Public Health England and belongs to Science Photo Library—an invaluable resource for those interested in biology, medicine, epidemiology, and viral replication studies.
