Summary

This illustration, created at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reveals ultrastructural morphology exhibited by the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Note the spikes that adorn the outer surface of the virus, which impart the look of a corona surrounding the virion, when viewed electron microscopically. In this view, the protein particles E, S, M, and HE, also located on the outer surface of the particle, have all been labeled as well. This virus was identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China.

This media comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Image Library (PHIL), with identification number #23313.
