The sequences of the polymerase proteins (PA, PB1, and PB2) of the 1918 virus and subsequent human viruses differ by only 10 amino acids from the avian influenza viruses. Viruses with 7 of the 10 amino acids in the human influenza locations have already been identified in currently circulating H5N1 .
A 2009 study in Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses found that Spanish flu mortality simultaneously peaked within the two-month period of October and November 1918 in all fourteen European countries analyzed, which is inconsistent with the pattern that researchers would expect if the virus had originated somewhere in Europe and then spread ...
Photographic images obtained with an electron microscope Wikimedia Commons has media related to Electron microscope images . Electron Imcroscopy Image Contest: FEI Image Contest : FEI has an image contest every year since 2008 to share amazing images worldwide.
A TEM image of a cluster of poliovirus. The polio virus is 30 nm in diameter. [1] Operating principle of a transmission electron microscope. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than ...
At first, technology only allowed for two-dimensional images, but now with modern technology, three-dimensional images are also available. [3] Immunoelectron microscopy came about when two independent groups in the 1940s combined the tobacco mosaic virus and its antiserum. They then examined it under an electron microscope.
The genetic material — which came from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, specimen in the collection of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm — has allowed scientists ...
A viroplasm, sometimes called "virus factory" or "virus inclusion", [1] is an inclusion body in a cell where viral replication and assembly occurs. They may be thought of as viral factories in the cell. There are many viroplasms in one infected cell, where they appear dense to electron microscopy. Very little is understood about the mechanism ...
Public health officials maintain the risk of H5N1 bird flu infection remains low. They are searching for the source. Bird flu virus found in Los Angeles County wastewater
