Chlamydophila psittaci

Well hello.
My name is C. psittaci.
Like my cousin C. trachomatis, I'm tiny!
I also have both elementary and initial bodies.

You can get me if you spend a lot of time around birds.
I cause a lung infection called psittacosis.
I start out looking like flu, with fever and a sore throat.
Later I grow and look like pneumonia.

    I too happened to come across your blog. Did you do all of that yourself? I really liked all the drawings and the fun synopsis of each. Ever think about teaching? I think you would do an amazing job!

  8. I thought you are a medical microbiologist who can make very nice cartoons. But you are too young for that. I suppose you got help from a very nice medical microbiologist.
