AIDS: Scrub typhus? Parasites?
Scrub typhus reverts to AIDS: No, no, no, my pathogen is Orientalis scrub typhus, a type of bacteria.
AIDS: Scrub typhus? I haven't heard of it, when did there be such a new member in the bacteria?
Q fever to return to AIDS: Xiao Ai, Oriental body is a new member of the Oriental body genus under our Rickettsial order, and in a broad sense, it is a member of the rickettsial family.
AIDS: There are so many types of bacteria, and the name "Oriental body" is too strange.
Scrub typhus reverts to AIDS: My genus is a newly created genus, and there is currently only one member of my scrub typhus organism.
AIDS reverts to scrub typhus: you're so lonely.
Cat's claw disease returns to AIDS: Xiao Chao is not alone, he is our relative, and we are all part of the big family of rickettsial disease.
Endemic typhus: I am also part of the large family of rickettsial diseases.
Epidemic typhus: I am also part of the large family of rickettsial diseases.
Q fever: I am also a member of the large family of rickettsial diseases.
Cat's claw disease: I am also part of the large family of rickettsial diseases.
Heilongjiang tick-borne spotted fever: +1
North Asian tick-borne spotted fever: +1
Inner Mongolia tick-borne spotted fever: +1
Human granulocytic anaplasmosis: +1
Human monocytic ehrlichiosis: +1
HIV/AIDS: Stop, Stop...... Knowing that your rickettsial disease is a big family, there are so many members that I can't recognize it clearly, and I want to read Xiao Chao's autobiography.
Scrub typhus: Here is my autobiography.
I, scrub typhus, alias "jungle typhus", nicknamed "little chic".
As the name suggests, I spread it through a small bug called chigger mites.
Chigger mites are small, less than a millimeter in length, width and height, and vermilion.
My pathogen is much smaller, measured in microns.
My pathogen is Orientalis scrub typhus of the genus Orientalis of the order Rickettsia.
My deity is in the shape of a short rod, and I usually live in the body of chigger mites.
I can pass through the eggs of chigger mites and live forever.
Chigger mites are small insects that live on wild rodents such as rats, and are bitten by scrub mites when humans and other animals come into close contact with rats or near their territory.
When a chigger mite that I was infected with bites a person or animal, I was able to enter the bite through the wound and quickly travel through the blood and lymph throughout the body.
I mainly infect human endothelial cells, but I can also infect other cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, lobulated nuclear leukocytes, etc.
I only parasitize within the cell, extracellularly is not suitable for my reproduction.
When a host human is infected by me, he will have a fever, a rash, and ulcers and eschars on the site of the chigger mite bite.
Sometimes, host humans also develop interstitial pneumonia, transient deafness, lymphadenitis, and central nervous system damage.
In more severe cases, the host develops myocarditis and septic shock, and if left untreated, the host dies.
Smart humans will use antibiotics against me.
Chloramphenicol, doxycycline, azithromycin, these antibiotics all kill me.
However, I don't worry, chigger mites are my favorite, and chigger mites like to live on rats the most, as long as there are mice and chigger mites, I can enter the world at any time.
Plague: I know you, little boy, and often see you on my rat mount.
Scrub typhus reverts to the plague: Wow, the plague god, as a neighbor of the god, it is an honor.
