Host Immunity and Francisella tularensis: A Review of Tularemia in Immunocompromised Patients
Microorganisms, 2021 Tularemia, caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, is an infrequent zoonotic infection, well known in immunocompetent (but poorly described in immunocompromised) patients.

Francisella tularensis, Tularemia and Serological Diagnosis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. The predominant sources, routes of infection, and clinical manifestations of human infections greatly vary according to the geographic area considered.

Ecology of Francisella tularensis.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2020 Tularemia is a Holarctic zoonosis caused by the gamma proteobacterium Francisella tularensis and is considered to be a vector-borne disease. In many regions, human risk is associated with the bites of flies, mosquitoes, or ticks.

Shared features of cryptic plasmids from environmental and pathogenic Francisella species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The Francisella genus includes several recognized species, additional potential species, and other representatives that inhabit a range of incredibly diverse ecological niches, but are not closely related to the named species.

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 ...

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
