Tularemia is an infection caused by the bacterium Francisella is more common in rodents and rabbits but has been found in other animals including domestic cats, sheep, birds, and hamsters. Humans can become infected in several different ways: by handling infected animals, through tick or deer fly bites, by drinking contaminated water, or by inhaling . Tularemia is an infection caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis that can affect animals and humans. About cases of human tularemia are reported each year in the United States. Bites from infected ticks and the handling of infected rabbits are responsible for most tularemia cases in the United States. If tularemia were to be released.
Tularemia, acute infectious disease resembling plague, but much less severe. It was described in among ground squirrels in Tulare county, California (from which the name is derived), and was first reported in humans in the United States in The causative agent is . Tularemia is a bacterial infection in wild rodents. The bacteria are passed to humans through contact with tissue from the infected animal. The bacteria can also be passed by ticks, biting flies, and mosquitoes.
Tularemia is bacterial disease that affects horses and other mammals such as rabbits, hares, and rodents. This disease is caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis and is transmitted by biting insects such as ticks, lice, mosquitoes and horseflies. TRANSMISSION. Tularemia is more common in some groups of people. Groups at risk include foresters, hikers, hunters, people in contact with meat and animals, people living in rural areas, farmers, laboratory workers and veterinarians (2, 5, 22).In humans, the clinical symptoms of tularemia may vary depending on the bacterium’s virulence, amount, mode of Cited by:

It is caused by toxins in the blood produced by the bacterium Francisella bacteria can survive for weeks or months in a moist environment. A blood sample is needed. The sample is sent to a laboratory where it is examined for francisella antibodies using a method called serology.
This method checks if your body has produced substances called antibodies to a specific foreign substance (), in this case F tularensis.
Antibodies are proteins that defend your body against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Get this from a library. Tularemia.

The bacteria that cause tularemia are often found in animals, such as rodents, birds, reptiles, and fish. The bacteria can survive for weeks at low temperatures in water, moist soil, hay, and straw. Tularemia was removed from the list of Nationally Notifiable Diseases in but was reinstated in because of concerns about tularemia as a biological weapon (CDC Summary of Notifiable Diseases—United States, ).

Francisella tularensis is a pathogenic species of Gram-negative coccobacillus, an aerobic bacterium. It is nonspore-forming, nonmotile, and the causative agent of tularemia, the pneumonic form of which is often lethal without is a fastidious, facultative intracellular bacterium, which requires cysteine for growth.
Due to its low infectious dose, ease of spread by aerosol, Class: Gammaproteobacteria.Tularemia, which is caused by the gram-negative bacillus Francisella tularensis, is now a rare infection in the United States.
The peak incidence was in .General Discussion. Tularemia, is caused by infection with the bacterium Francisella tularensis, which is found in small mammals such as rodents and rabbits, and arthropods, such as bacterium that causes tularemia is most often transmitted to humans by tick or biting fly bite, handling of an infected animal, or inhalation or ingestion of the bacterium.
