Francisella tularensis,Portugal
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by Francisella tularensis. Recently, tularemia has emerged in new locations, populations, and settings (1). After an outbreak in Spain in 1997 (2), it was expected that the disease would spread toward Portugal, a country with an extended area that borders the affected areas.

Regulation of virulence in Francisella tularensis by small non-coding RNAs [PDF]
, 2011 Using a cDNA cloning and sequencing approach we have shown that Francisella tularensis expresses homologues of several small RNAs (sRNAs) that are well-conserved among diverse bacteria.

Immunobiological Properties of Francisella tularensis 15/10 Strain with Deleted recA Gene
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2011 Deletion of recA gene in Francisella tularensis 15/10 genome leads to the increase in its sensitivity to ultraviolet irradiation, reduction of the homologous recombination capacity, and a slight decline of virulence for mice.

Putting the Jigsaw Together - A Brief Insight Into the Tularemia
Open Life Sciences, 2015 Tularemia is a debilitating febrile and potentially fatal zoonotic disease of humans and other vertebrates caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis. The natural reservoirs are small rodents, hares, and possibly amoebas in water.
