I really enjoyed reading your page! You provided a comprehensive overview of this tick-borne pathogen and described a lot of interesting points. I only have a few comments that you can choose to incorporate for your final report.

First, just as a visual note, I think it might make it easier to read if the sections were split up into smaller paragraphs. You have a lot of good information and references in there, but it would be more communicable if it was a little more broken up. Also, as I read, I found myself wanting to know more about current/future research regarding Ehrlichia. What studies have been done on this pathogen recently? How has the way we approach its diagnosis and treatment changed? Maybe add a few concluding sentences about the future of the disease? Lastly (this is a technical note that is only relevant for the final due date), the genus-species names should be italicized. I figured out you can do that quicker by putting in two apostrophes (not quotation marks) on either side of the word you want in italics (saved me a lot of time)!

Overall, I thought this was a really interesting topic and a good presentation of the material!
