This would include the microorganism causing it known as Bartonella henselae and how it is an aerobic, intracellular, proteobacteria. As well as how this bacteria makes its way into a cats system through ticks and fleas, and into our bodies through scratches, bites, or saliva. Once B. henselae makes its way into our system it will adhere to the erythrocytes and replicate until the cell dies, or antibodies prevent further replication. Various symptoms will begin to develop once our bodies recognize that this bacterium has invaded our immune system causing us to have fever, headaches, and fatigue. Most individuals will overcome this disease on their own but in serve cases will have to take antibiotics in order to help conquer it. We can also prevent the contraction of B. henselae by making sure to clip cat’s nails, not playing rough with cats, and most importantly scheduling routine checkups with
