Tularemia as a Biological Weapon
CONSENSUS STATEMENT
ULAREMIA, A BACTERIAL ZOONO-
sis, is the subject of this fifth ar-
ticle in a series providing rec-
Tommendations for medical and
public health management following use
of various agents as biological weapons of terrorism.2-5 The causative agent of tu- laremia, Francisella tularensis, is one of the most infectious pathogenic bacteria known, requiring inoculation or inha- lation of as few as 10 organisms to cause disease.6,7 Humans become incidentally
infected through diverse environmen- tal exposures and can develop severe and sometimes fatal illness but do not trans- mit infection to others. The Working Group on Civilian Biodefense consid- ers F tularensis to be a dangerous poten- tial biological weapon because of its ex- treme infectivity, ease of dissemination, and substantial capacity to cause illness and death.8-11
