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.
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]
The most infamous flea-to-human transmitted disease is the bubonic plague, which was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. The plague, fevers, tularemia: The diseases fleas can carry and how to ...
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 ...
This causes the host cell membrane to protrude outward and invaginate the membrane of an adjacent cell. [21] The bacteria are then taken up by the neighboring cell in a double membrane vacuole that the bacteria can subsequently lyse, enabling spread from cell to cell without exposure to the extracellular environment.
Dermacentor species are vectors of many pathogens, including Rickettsia rickettsii, which causes the disease Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Coxiella burnetii, which causes Q fever, Anaplasma marginale, which causes anaplasmosis in cattle, Francisella tularensis, which causes tularemia, Babesia caballi, which causes equine piroplasmosis, and the ...

[1] Bartonella species cause diseases such as Carrión's disease , trench fever , cat-scratch disease , bacillary angiomatosis , peliosis hepatis , chronic bacteremia , endocarditis , chronic lymphadenopathy , and neurological disorders.
