Caption:
This transmission electron microscopic (TEM) image revealed the presence of numerous Russian spring-summer encephalitis (RSSE) virions, which are members of the virus family, Flaviviridae. RSSE is transmitted when one is bitten by the taiga tick, Ixodes persulcatus, hard tick, and is therefore, referred to as a tick-borne encephalitis (TBE).
