Colored transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) particles (round) in infected tissue. PERV, like other retroviruses, integrates into the genome of the host organism, which means that it can be inherited. It lies dormant until certain conditions activate it. PERV can infect human tissues and is considered a risk after the transplantation of pig tissue to human patients (xenotransplantation).Credit:Dr. Klaus Boller / Science SourceSize:3661px × 2441px (~25 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:biology-C016/4246-C0164246-cell-colored-false-color-false-colored-infected-infecting-infection-microbe-microbiological-micro-organism-particle-particles-pathogen-perv-pig-porcine endogenous retrovirus-retrovirus-swine-tem-virions-virus-virusesModel release:N/AParent folder:17565
