Tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. [4] Symptoms may include fever , skin ulcers , and enlarged lymph nodes . [ 3 ] Occasionally, a form that results in pneumonia or a throat infection may occur.
Francisella tularensis is a pathogenic species of Gram-negative coccobacillus, an aerobic bacterium. [1] It is nonspore-forming, nonmotile, [2] and the causative agent of tularemia, the pneumonic form of which is often lethal without treatment.
According to author Philip Norrie (How Disease Affected the End of the Bronze Age), there are three diseases most likely to have caused a post-Bronze Age societal collapse: smallpox, bubonic plague, and tularemia. The tularemia plague which struck the Hittites could have been spread by insects or infected dirt or plants, through open wounds, or ...

Infectious causes of lymphadenopathy may include bacterial infections such as cat scratch disease, tularemia, brucellosis, or prevotella, as well as fungal infections such as paracoccidioidomycosis. [14] [15] Tumoral: Primary: Hodgkin lymphoma [16] and non-Hodgkin lymphoma give lymphadenopathy in all or a few lymph nodes. [9]
Streptomycin is an antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections, [3] including tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, endocarditis, brucellosis, Burkholderia infection, plague, tularemia, and rat bite fever. [3] For active tuberculosis it is often given together with isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide. [4]
They are used to study the efficiency of various dissemination techniques or the risks caused by the use of biological agents in bioterrorism. [7] To simulate dispersal, attachment or the penetration depth in human or animal lungs, simulants must have particle sizes, specific weight and surface properties, similar to the simulated biological agent.
Tularemia, also known as "rabbit fever" caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, is a zoonotic disease that can affect various species, including cats. Cats typically contract tularemia through interactions with infected wildlife, including prey such as rabbits and rodents, or via vectors like ticks and insect bites. [73]
