Yellow fever virus, TEM
Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Vero E6 cells infected with yellow fever virus. The virus particles (virions) are found within the distended regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This virus occurs in tropical Africa, Central and South America. It is transmitted to humans when an infected female mosquito Aedes aegypti bites a human. Yellow fever is so-called because it may cause yellowing of the skin due to jaundice. Other symptoms include fever, headache, nausea, and low heart rate. In serious cases damage may occur to the liver and kidneys. About 10% of victims die. Yellow fever vaccines give long-lasting immunity. Image obtained at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) in Fort Detrick, Maryland, USA.
