Francisella and Antibodies [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Immune responses to intracellular pathogens depend largely upon the activation of T helper type 1-dependent mechanisms. The contribution of B cells to establishing protective immunity has long been underestimated.

Comparative Transcriptional Analyses of Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Francisella tularensis is composed of a number of subspecies with varied geographic distribution, host ranges, and virulence. In view of these marked differences, comparative functional genomics may elucidate some of the molecular mechanism(s) behind ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 In recent years, studies on the intracellular pathogen Francisella tularensis have greatly intensified, generating a wealth of new information on the interaction of this organism with the immune system. Here we review the basic elements of the innate and adaptive immune responses that contribute to protective immunity against Francisella species, with ...

Amoebae can promote the survival of Francisella species in the aquatic environment
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2021 Francisella tularensis, a tier 1 select agent, is the causative bacterium of tularemia, a zoonosis with a large animal reservoir. However, F. tularensis, like many other Francisella species, is assumed to have an aquatic reservoir.

Francisella and tularemia in western Asia, Iran: a systematic review
New Microbes and New Infections, 2023 Tularemia or rabbit fever is a transmissible disease from animals, rodents, and insects to human populations that is caused by Francisella tularensis. Epidemiological studies showed that tularemia is endemic throughout most different regions of the world.

Comparative review of Francisella tularensis and Francisella novicida [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the acute disease tularemia. Due to its extreme infectivity and ability to cause disease upon inhalation, F. tularensis has been classified as a biothreat agent. Two subspecies of F. tularensis, tularensis and holarctica, are responsible for tularemia in humans. In comparison, the closely related species

Optimized MALDI TOF Mass Spectrometry Identification of Francisella tularensis Subsp. holarctica
Microorganisms, 2020 Francisella tularensis is a tier 1 agent causing the zoonosis tularemia. This highly infectious Gram-negative bacterium is occasionally isolated from human samples (especially blood samples) in routine clinical microbiology laboratories.
