In a July 2001 report commissioned by the DoD, the " DoD-critical products " were stated as vaccines against anthrax ( AVA and Next Generation ), smallpox, plague, tularemia, botulinum, ricin, and equine encephalitis.

Ticks are vectors of a number of diseases, including Lyme disease, Q fever ( rare ; more commonly transmitted by infected excreta ), Colorado tick fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, African tick bite fever, tularemia, tick-borne relapsing fever, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Tick paralysis and tick-borne meningoencephalitis, as well as bovine anaplasmosis.

Some parasitic forms affect humans and other mammals, causing damage by their feeding, and can even be vectors of diseases such as scrub typhus, rickettsialpox, Lyme disease, Q fever, Colorado tick fever, tularemia, tick-borne relapsing fever, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and tick-borne meningoencephalitis.

The tularemia bacterium was first isolated by G. W.

A former Soviet biological weapons scientist, Kenneth Alibek, has alleged that an outbreak of tularemia among German soldiers shortly before the siege of Stalingrad was due to the release of F. tularensis by Soviet forces.

In Kansas the largest cause of mortality of radiotracked eastern cottontails was predation ( 43 %), followed by research mortalities ( 19 %), and tularemia ( 18 %).

Despite this, no case of tularemia has been shown to be initiated by human-to-human transmission.

Rather, tularemia is caused by contact with infected animals or vectors such as ticks, mosquitos, and deer flies.

Aerosols containing the bacteria may be generated by disturbing carcasses due to brushcutting or lawn mowing ; as a result, tularemia has been referred to as lawnmower disease.

Among the diseases caused by these pathogens that can affect humans are the following: 1 ) tularemia, which is a disease mainly transmitted through rabbits ; 2 ) smallpox, which is not a cattle zoonosis ; 3 ) leishmaniasis, which is not a highly contagious disease ; and 4 ) leptospirosis, which has been associated with epidemics after rainfall and flooding in relation to rodent infestation.

The bacteria that cause tularemia occur widely in nature and could be isolated and grown in quantity in a laboratory, although manufacturing an effective aerosol weapon would require considerable sophistication.

There are several health issues associated with the use of rabbits for meat, one of which is tularemia or rabbit fever.

In the summer of 2000, an outbreak of tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, resulted in one death and piqued the interest of the CDC, which wanted to test the island as a potential investigative ground for aerosolized Francisella tularensis.

The incubation period for tularemia is one to 14 days ; most human infections become apparent after three to five days.

From May to October 2000, an outbreak of tularemia in Martha's Vineyard resulted in one fatality, and brought the interest of the CDC as a potential investigative ground for aerosolized Francisella tularensis.

The type species, F. tularensis, causes the disease tularemia or rabbit fever.

Francisella tularensis is a pathogenic species of gram-negative bacteria and the causative agent of tularemia or rabbit fever.

Biologics include Bacillus globigii, Coxiella burnetti ( which causes Q fever ), and Francisella tularensis ( which causes tularemia or ' rabbit fever ').

Agents that are known to cause frequent infections among laboratory workers such as those causing Q fever, tularemia, brucellosis, glanders, coccidioidomycosis, etc., belong in this category.

Major tick-borne diseases include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, relapsing fever, tularemia, tick-borne meningoencephalitis, Colorado tick fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, babesiosis and cytauxzoonosis.

Canada has thus experimented with such things as weaponized anthrax, botulinum toxin, ricin, rinderpest virus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, plague, Brucellosis and tularemia.

Depending on the site of infection, tularemia has six characteristic clinical symptoms: ulceroglandular ( the most common type representing 75 % of all forms ), glandular, oropharyngeal, pneumonic, oculoglandular, and typhoidal.

Some biological agents ( especially smallpox, plague, and tularemia ) have the capability of person-to-person transmission via aerosolized respiratory droplets.

Also, in 2002, a large group of prairie dogs in captivity in Texas were found to have contracted tularemia.

Culex and Culiseta, are vectors of tularemia as well as arbovirus infections such as West Nile Virus.

Over the following summers, Martha's Vineyard was identified as the only place in the world where documented cases of tularemia resulted from lawn mowing.

Other diseases that black-footed ferrets are susceptible to include rabies, tularemia, and human influenza.

Fever is moderate or very high, and tularemia bacilli can be isolated from blood cultures at this stage.

The microbiologist must be informed when tularemia is suspected because F. tularensis requires special media for cultivation such as buffered charcoal and yeast extract ( BCYE ).

Rodents, rabbits, and hares often serve as reservoir hosts, but waterborne infection accounts for 5 to 10 % of all tularemia in the US.

In the United States, although records show that tularemia was never particularly common, incidence rates continued to drop over the course of the 20th century, so between 1990 and 2000, the rate was less than 1 per 1, 000, 000, meaning the disease is extremely rare in the US today.

Scientists determined tularemia could be dangerous to humans ; a human being may catch the infection after contacting an infected animal.

Again, the sufferings and disasters produced by any transgression against the commandment not to love are almost invariably associated in one way or another with childhood, with the figure of a child.

That doctrine has been accepted by many, but has it produced good results??

For him Mercer produced the lyric to `` Out Of Breath Scared To Death Of You '', introduced in that most successful of all the Gaieties, by Sterling Holloway.

In the calm which follows the reading of a poem, for example, is the effect produced by the enforced quiet, by the musical quality of words and rhythm, by the sentiments or sense of the poem, by the associations with earlier readings, if it is familiar, by the boost to the self-esteem for the semi-literate, by the diversion of attention, by the sense of security in a legitimized withdrawal, by a kind license for some variety of fantasy life regarded as forbidden, or by half-conscious ideas about the magical power of words??

Ultimately either the Trujillos would have been returned to power or the conflict would have produced conditions favorable to a takeover by Dominican elements responsive to Castro in Cuba.

Assuming the lower figure for the big blast and one shot estimated by the Japanese at 10 megatons, a conservative computation is that the 24 announced tests produced a total yield of at least 60 megatons.

Subject to the limitations of this Act, the Secretary shall make stabilization payments to small domestic producers upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to him of their status as such producers and of the sale by them of newly mined ores, or concentrates produced therefrom, as provided in this Act.

The Senate Subcommittee on Reorganization and International Organizations was provided samples of visual aids on first aid and personal health produced by the Medical Illustration Service.

Thus, 1745 corresponded to the invention of the `` Leiden '' jar by Kleist, 1764 that of the electrophorus by Wilcke, 1782 produced the condenser of Volta, and 1801 the voltaic pile.

One of the most significant advancements in design of plastics signs is the so-called trans-illuminated billboard, now being produced by several large sign manufacturers such as Advance Neon Sign Co., Los Angeles, and Industrial Electric Inc., New Orleans, La..

Finished signs are produced by sliding the separate letter panels into channels of 0.025-in. aluminum, which may be mounted to various surfaces.

In fact agglutination of Af cells in saline could be produced by the insoluble material from sera containing `` only '' incomplete antibody activity.

Simultaneously, males or drones are produced, mostly from the unfertilized eggs of workers, although a few may be produced by the queen.

The best way to determine the correct figure ( in captives ) is by direct observation of pairs isolated from birth, a method that produced surprising results: maturing of a male Indian python in less than two years, his mate in less than three ; ;
