Francisella Species and Summary Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6197
The Francisella Species and Summary Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates Francisella tularensis and the disease it causes, tularemia.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain the organism's zoonotic transmission and the clinical forms of tularemia.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Causative Organism | Francisella tularensis, a small, Gram-negative, intracellular coccobacillus |
| Infectivity | One of the most infectious bacteria known, requiring only a small inoculum to cause disease |
| Transmission | Spread through tick or deer fly bites, contact with infected animals such as rabbits, or inhalation of contaminated aerosols |
| Ulceroglandular Form | The most common presentation; a skin ulcer at the entry site with regional lymph node swelling |
| Pneumonic Form | The most severe form, resulting from inhalation of the organism and causing pneumonia |
Key Features
- Illustrates Francisella tularensis biology and its zoonotic transmission routes
- Shows the major clinical forms of tularemia
- Explains why the organism is considered highly infectious
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls
