Ehrlichia Chaffeensis in terms of its analysis discussion

This is an assignment that focuses on discussion on the Ehrlichia Chaffeensis in terms of its analysis. The paper analysis is in terms of factors like description, virulence, and also epidemiology.

Discussion on the Ehrlichia Chaffeensis in terms of its analysis

Ehrlichia Chaffeensis
Description of the Microorganism: a. Firstly, write a paragraph describing your organism. Please be sure to include the type of organism (bacterial, viral, fungal, protozoa, helminth, etc), morphology (shape, arrangement, colony morphology if applicable), description of structure (gram result, type of nucleic acid or virion structure, spore type, etc if applicable) and also the type of microscope and/or stain you would use to view the organism. Please use proper scientific terminology and good grammar and sentence structure throughout this project.

2. Virulence Factors: a. Secondly, include a paragraph on the virulence factors the pathogen has and how they affect the host. Please enhance this with detailed explanations of the virulence factors and how they affect the host as you gain a better understanding of them throughout the semester.

3. Immunity: a. Thirdly, which defenses protect us from infection by this bacterium? b. Does this pathogen induce a specific type of immune response (example: delayed-type hypersensitivity)? If so, which one(s)?

4. Infectious Disease Information: a. Fourthly, what condition(s) or infectious diseases does it cause? b. Which tissues or organs are affected, and how are they affected (for example, chronic TB is characterized by lung tubercles)? c. Describe the complications that result if the infection is left without treatment. d. Are these acute, chronic, or latent infections? e. What organ system(s) does it infect? f. Is it an opportunistic pathogen? If so, where is it normally found in the body?

5. Epidemiology: a. Additionally, draw and label diagram on how this organism is transmitted. Make sure you also include the reservoirs of infection, and vectors in involved in transmission, the type of transmission and the portals of entry and exit.

6. Presentations:

a. Lastly, provide a written, detailed description of a hypothetical patient. ‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍Be imaginative and create a hypothetical situation that would correspond with your microorganism. However, this is to be at least 8-10 sentences in length and is to be comprehensive and in detail. You are to also include descriptions of: i. Signs and symptoms, using correct terminology ii.
