Hepatitis C viruses. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of hepatitis C virus particles (green) infecting cultured liver cells (purple). The virus consists of a core of RNA (ribonucleic acid,brown) enclosed in a capsid (green),and surrounding by a glycoprotein envelope (yellow). It infects liver cells causing an inflammatory disease that can lead to degeneration and scarring (cirrhosis). It is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C.
