Vesicular stomatitis virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a particle of the rhabdovirus vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). The bullet shape is characteristic of rhabdoviruses. The particle consists of a ribonucleic acid (RNA) core surrounded by a protein coat (capsid). VSV is an arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) that is transmitted to domesticated animals and humans through the bite of an infected insect.
