1. Tularemia

   Tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. Symptoms may include fever, skin ulcers, and enlarged lymph nodes. Occasionally, a form that results in pneumonia or a throat infection may occur.The bacterium is typically spread by ticks, deer flies, or contact with infected animals. It may also be spread by drinking contaminated water or breathing in contaminated dust. It does not spread directly between people. Diagnosis is by blood tests or cultures of the infected site.Prevention is by using insect repellent, wearing long pants, rapidly removing ticks, and not disturbing dead animals. Treatment is typically with the antibiotic streptomycin. Gentamicin, doxycycline, or ciprofloxacin may also be used.Between the 1970s and 2015, around 200 cases were reported in the United States a year. Males are affected more often than females. It occurs most frequently in the young and the middle aged. In the United States, most cases occur in the summer. The disease is named after Tulare County, California, where the disease was discovered in 1911. A number of other animals, such as rabbits, may also be infected.

1. tularemia

   Tularemia is a rare infectious disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. It is typically transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals, particularly rodents, rabbits, and hares, or by exposure to contaminated water, soil, or air. The disease can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, fatigue, pneumonia, and skin ulcers, depending on the route of infection. It's uncommon but potentially serious, so it's important to seek medical treatment immediately if an infection is suspected. It's notably present in North America, Europe, and Asia.

1. Tularemia

   Tularemia is a serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. A Gram-negative, nonmotile coccobacillus, the bacterium has several subspecies with varying degrees of virulence. The most important of those is F. tularensis tularensis, which is found in lagomorphs in North America, and it is highly virulent in humans and domestic rabbits. F. tularensis palaearctica occurs mainly in aquatic rodents in North America and in hares and small rodents in northern Eurasia. It is less virulent for humans and rabbits. The primary vectors are ticks and deer flies, but the disease can also be spread through other arthropods. The disease is named after Tulare County, California.
