| Abstract;For tularemia, the pathogen, generation site, infection source/infection route, classification of Francisella tularensis, symptoms, diagnosis (bacteria separation, antibody detection), histopathological examionation, treatment, and prevention are outlined. Tularemia is a zoonotic infection, and a bacterial acute thermal disease with high fever and lymph node swelling as the main features. It occurs widely in the Northern Hemisphere higher than N 30.DEG.in latitude, and in Japan, the whole Tohoku area and a part of Kanto are the frequented region. Since Francissella tularensis is with a very strong infectivity, invades from a sound skin, and survive in water and soil for a long-term, recently, its use under bio-terrolism is feared. Also, attention has been called to it as an infection with the danger for epidemic from an import animal. |
