Micrograph, Spotted Fever and Rickettsia Disease Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6208
The Micrograph, Spotted Fever and Rickettsia Disease Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates Rickettsia species and the pathogenesis of the diseases they cause.
It is used in microbiology courses to explain how these obligate intracellular bacteria are transmitted by arthropod vectors and damage blood vessels.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Organism Type | Rickettsia species are small, obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria |
| Vector Transmission | Spread by arthropod vectors such as ticks, lice, fleas, and mites depending on the species |
| Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever | Caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, transmitted by tick bite, producing a characteristic spreading rash |
| Epidemic Typhus | Caused by Rickettsia prowazekii, transmitted by the human body louse |
| Pathogenesis | The bacteria invade and multiply within vascular endothelial cells, causing widespread vasculitis |
Key Features
- Illustrates Rickettsia species and their arthropod-borne transmission
- Shows the vasculitis-based pathogenesis common to rickettsial disease
- Explains the clinical presentation of spotted fever and typhus
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Micrograph, Spotted Fever and Rickettsia Disease Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates Rickettsia species and the pathogenesis of spotted fever and typhus.
Q2. How are Rickettsia species transmitted?
A. They are transmitted by arthropod vectors such as ticks, lice, fleas, and mites, depending on the species.
Q3. What causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever?
A. It is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, transmitted through the bite of an infected tick.
Q4. Why does rickettsial infection cause a rash?
A. The bacteria invade and multiply within vascular endothelial cells, causing widespread vasculitis and a characteristic rash.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Microbiology and medical students and faculty use it to study Rickettsia species and disease.
