ABSTRACT

Tularemia is a vector transmited infectious disease caused by Francisella tularensis, existent in well-known geographical areas. The bacteria is highly virulent and promotes in humans a variety of defined clinical syndromes. The disease has special relevance because its potential role as terrorist weapon. Prognosis depends on clinical variety and is curable by antimicrobians.
