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.
