Metabolic plasticity of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica (wild type), Francisella novicida and Francisella sp. strain W12-1067 [PDF]

, 2022
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes a potentially fatal disease called tularemia. The highly infectious agent can spread via arthropod vectors, including ticks, and via rodents such as rabbits or beavers.

Rombencephalitis Caused by Francisella tularensis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT Common presentations of tularemia include pneumonia and ulceroglandular, oropharyngeal, or typhoidal disease. Neuromeningeal involvement is extremely rare. We report a case of a severe rhombencephalitis due to Francisella tularensis .

Non-vaccinal prophylaxis of tularemia

Frontiers in Microbiology
Tularemia is a re-emerging zoonosis in many endemic countries. It is caused by Francisella tularensis, a gram-negative bacterium and biological threat agent.

Increased Pediatric Head and Neck Abscesses Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on pediatric head and neck abscesses at two tertiary care centers. Overall head and neck abscess incidence increased more than threefold in the post‐pandemic period compared with the pre‐pandemic period, with increases observed across all major abscess subtypes.

Genome characterisation of the genus Francisella reveals insight into similar evolutionary paths in pathogens of mammals and fish

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Prior to this study, relatively few strains of Francisella had been genome-sequenced. Previously published Francisella genome sequences were largely restricted to the zoonotic agent F. tularensis.

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Francisella species in ticks and animals, Iberian Peninsula

, 2016
The presence of Francisella species in 2134 ticks, 93 lagomorphs and 280 small mammals from the Iberian Peninsula was studied. Overall, 19 ticks and 6 lagomorphs were positive for Francisella tularensis subsp.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.
