Last week I decided to start a new #sciart projet: drawing the #BacterialAlphabet !
Starting with A like Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a plant pathogen. #Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses DNA transfer to cause crown gall disease (a plant tumor)
This one is for @Mart1_100dra

#Aprons are wonderful barriers against all manner of contaminants. In this #image from the Manuel de Médecine Opératoire, the #surgeon's apron seems to be protecting his suit rather than preventing exposure to #pathogens during #surgery. #DoctorDuds https://t.co/sQVHZElSJn
@KBeanArts Hi! I’m Chise! I am a Bi-Racial (Black & White) Molecular Biologist! I specialize in Viral Diseases, Immunology, and Pathogenesis. My current research efforts have been towards Coronavirus and its vaccines! I go by She/They, I have one super cute puppy and a wonderful partner. ♥️
Macrophage and dendritic cells: By sampling pathogen components, direct lymphocytes to attack the specific pathogen. Some are regulatory. #immunography
Who let the cats out? Outdoor cats are 2.77 times as likely as indoor-only cats to be infected with pathogens https://t.co/kxi01ikB42 | #BiologyLetters
Seiyu Miyu Matsuki passed away 2015 due to a rare disease. The pathogenesis of that disease (chronic active Epstein–Barr virus infection) was elucidated with the donated fund from her memorial event. It's reported on tv and her name is trending in Japan. R.I.P
Still working on getting these #PathogenPortraits onto redbubble in time for #BlackFriday - keep your eyes peeled!!

Macrophyte (Fighting/Psychic): #Macrophages are part of the immune system that phagocytosis pathogens. In other words, they eat any intruders or weird cells in the body.

Whilst the crocodile infectant “Gnaw” grew in size once infected with the t-Virus, it was not to quite the same extent as the Giant Alligator displaying the pathogen’s varying effects on different species. #ResidentEvil
Not a popular accessory among pathogens.

Fantasy series "The fire-hunter king" is getting a TV anime in 2021 - set in a post-apocalyptic world where a pathogen which causes human combustion upon contact with fire has emerged. Among fire-demon hunters rumours of a "King of fire-hunting" spread https://t.co/Ph6fXjv4b8
#Inktober2020 day 31 of my #PathogenPortraits - the grand finale, it had to be #Coronavirus, didn't it?
We're all living this one & it sucks balls. #HerdImmunity won't work. Let's hope a #vaccine will.
🤞🤞

#Inktober2020 of my #PathogenPortraits - the neglected & very tropical #Leishmania!
🌴
There are >20 species that cause cutaneous (skin), visceral (mostly liver & spleen) & mucosal leishmaniasis via sand fly bites.

#Inktober2020 day 21 of my #PathogenPortraits - a disease dichotomy w. #Salmonella enterica.
Lots of serovars - can mostly cause gastroenteritis in many hosts. BUT can adapt to cause invasive #typhoid fever.

#Inktober2020 day 12 of my #PathogenPortraits series - have some #Poliovirus paralysis!
Decades after devastating outbreaks & a desperate race for a #vaccine, #Polio is nearly eradicated. But it's not dead yet...

@markowenmartin #Inktober2020 day 11 of my #PathogenPortraits- #microbiology meets #entomology, it's #malaria!

A Plasmodium sporozoite will morph into many forms, each adapted to the liver, blood, & getting into another female mosquito.

#Inktober2020 day 9 in my #PathogenPortraits series - the natural born killer, #Bdellovibrio!
This #pathogen eats most of the other #bacteria members of this series... 'nuff said?

(great suggestion @markowenmartin!)
#Inktober2020 day 8 in my #PathogenPortraits - as requested, it's Trypanosoma!
These pretty little parasites cause #SleepingSickness. 1st in the blood, then in the head, where they stay until you're dead.

#Inktober2020 day 7 in my #PathogenPortraits series - time for slow & steady Mycobacterium tuberculosis (#TB).
Preventable. Curable for now. Yet latent in 1:4 people globally. Active lung TB used to be called consumption.
