    I also found this recent paper on the discovery of probable enterovirus particles in the brainstem neurons of Parkinson's patients very interesting.

    The study used an electron microscope to observe virus-like particles of diameter ~30 nm within the neurons — which is the diameter of enterovirus (enteroviruses are small viruses of only 30 nm in size, hence the name of the family enteroviruses belong to: picornavirus, pico meaning very small).

    There are some electron microscope pictures of these virus-like particles in the paper.


    I wish we could get some electron micrographs of the neurons of ME/CFS patients.
