We report the case of glandular tularemia that developed in a man supposedly infected by a tick bite in Western Switzerland. Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) was identified. In Europe tularemia most commonly manifests itself as ulcero-glandular or glandular disease; the diagnosis of tularemia may be delayed in glandular form where skin or mucous lesion is absent, particularly in areas whi...

Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of tularemia, a serious and occasionally fatal disease of humans and animals. In humans, ulceroglandular tularemia is the most common form of the disease and is usually a consequence of a bite from an arthropod vector which has previously fed on an infected animal. The pneumonic form of the disease occurs rarely but is the likely form of the disea...

Objective: Tularemia is a zoonotic disease. Sporadic cases and outbreaks occur in humans. Here, we report waterborne outbreak, its clinical presentation, the results of treatment. Material Methods: An increase frequency patients presenting with lymphadenopathy from same region was detected. Patients serological diagnosis tularemia were included study between December 2018 April 2019. This case ...

OBJECTIVES Tularemia is a zoonotic disease transmitted by direct contact with infected animals and through arthropod bites, inhalation of contaminated aerosols, ingestion of contaminated meat or water, and skin contact with any infected material. It is widespread throughout the northern hemisphere, including Iran and its neighbors to the north, northeast, and northwest. METHODS In this paper,...

Tularemia caused by Francisella tularensis can exist in nature over a long period of time. The disease be transmitted ticks, biting flies, water exposure, food, and aerosols. F. infections occur especially the North America, Europe, Asia. is often water-associated effects humans an array animals including domestic animals, wild small mammals, fish. In horses, there almost no information about t...

ABSTRACT Objective: Francisella tularensis is an intracellular pathogen causing tularemia disease. Immune system action against tularemia is limited due to lipopolysaccharide covering bacterial cell. Cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway is a link between parasympathetic nervous system and macrophage assisted immunity. Asoxime (also known as HI-6) is a compound implicated in regulation of acety...

Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular bacterium that causes tularemia in humans and animals. Epidemiology of tularemia worldwide is often associated with water-borne transmission, which includes mosquitoes and amoebae as the potential host reservoirs of the bacteria in water environment. In vitro studies showed intracellular replication of F. tularensis within Acanthamoeba caste...

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the potential association of mosquito prevalence in a boreal forest area with transmission of the bacterial disease tularemia to humans, and model the annual variation of disease using local weather data. METHODS A prediction model for mosquito abundance was built using weather and mosquito catch data. Then a negative binomial regression model based on the pred...

OBJECTIVES Earthquakes are one the most common natural disasters that lead to increased mortality and morbidity from transmissible diseases, partially because the rodents displaced by an earthquake can lead to an increased rate of disease transmission. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of plague and tularemia in rodents in the earthquake zones in southeastern Iran. METHODS ...
