Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), TEM
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) particles, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This virus is a member of the coronavirus family. Coronaviruses are named after the corona (crown) of surface proteins (yellow dots) that are used to penetrate a host cell. IBV only occurs in chickens, but causes great economic loss by damaging their respiratory, renal and reproductive systems

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a member of the coronavirus family, captured using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The false-colored image vividly highlights the IBV particles, with their distinct corona-like surface proteins represented as yellow dots. These proteins play a crucial role in penetrating host cells and initiating infection. While IBV exclusively affects chickens, its impact on poultry farming is significant. This viral disease wreaks havoc on chickens' respiratory, renal, and reproductive systems, leading to substantial economic losses within the industry. The intricate details revealed by this photograph provide valuable insights into the pathogenic nature of IBV. Through microbe-sized lenses, we gain an understanding of how this biological disorder manifests at a microscopic level. The colored TEM image allows us to appreciate the complexity of this avian virus and underscores its importance in zoological research and veterinary science. The visual representation also serves as a reminder that coronaviruses extend beyond human health concerns. By studying viruses like IBV in-depth, scientists can unravel vital information about their structure and behavior—knowledge that contributes to our broader understanding of viral diseases and aids in developing effective countermeasures against them. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library not only captures scientific curiosity but also emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of biology, microbiology, virology, agriculture sciences – all converging towards mitigating agricultural diseases for sustainable food production worldwide.
